|
invaluable asset to the Senate and to the Office of the |

|
excelled in every facet of her work, and she has been a trusted |
|
friend and mentor to innumerable Senate employees, as well as to |
|
the state's legislative leaders; she is treasured by all who |
|
serve in the Capitol, and she is an inspiring role model for |
|
anyone in public service; now, therefore, be it |
