Through her unwavering dedication to excellence, she has certainly distinguished herself as a conscientious and hard-working Ohioan, and we applaud her on her tremendous efforts; and |
| WHEREAS, Jean Capers' exceptional record of personal and professional success stands as a hallmark worthy of emulation, and she has inspired countless individuals to excel in various areas of endeavor. The respect and admiration she has earned throughout her life are clearly evident, and her accomplishments are a justifiable source of pride and an outstanding reflection not only on her but also on her family and her community; therefore be it |
| RESOLVED, That we, the members of the Senate of the 130th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, commend the Honorable Jean Murrell Capers on her recent accolade and salute her as one of Ohio's finest citizens; and be it further |
