House Resolution 42
(As Adopted by House)
A RESOLUTION HONORING THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF MRS. FLORA BROWN, AND EXPRESSING DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS UPON HER PASSING.
WHEREAS, it is written in Ecclesiastes 3:1 that "To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under the Heaven," and as such, on January 24, 2022, the immaculate author and finisher of our soul's destiny summoned the mortal presence of dearly beloved, Mrs. Flora Brown, to eternal rest, rendering great sorrow and loss to her family and friends; and
WHEREAS, as a genuine and lovely woman of exceptional character, Mrs. Brown's legacy will continue for generations to come, and her outstanding devotion to her family will always be remembered, and precious memories of time spent with her will hopefully continue to provide warmth, peace and comfort to her loved ones; and
WHEREAS, though she has traversed the river of life to reunite with those who answered God's summons to life eternal and now beckon her arrival to the celestial shores of Heaven's grandeur, the legacy of Mrs. Brown's indelible imprint upon our lives will continue to refresh the hearts and fond memories of her loved ones and dear friends; and
WHEREAS, Mrs. Brown will forever be loved, cherished and missed by all who knew her, and since it is written in 2 Corinthians 5:8, that to be "absent from the body is to be present with the Lord," her family and friends can find peace and comfort during this difficult time; and
WHEREAS, it is the policy of the House of Representatives to recognize and commend the lives of outstanding Mississippians, especially those such as Mrs. Brown, who certainly inspired everyone she met and whose life's light illuminated the path of hope for all she encountered along her earthly sojourn:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI, That we do hereby honor the life and legacy of Mrs. Flora Brown, and express sincere and deepest sympathy to her family and friends upon her passing.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That copies of this resolution be furnished to the family of Mrs. Flora Brown, and to the members of the Capitol Press Corps.
