James, and Richard; and
	WHEREAS, Through the years, Ms. Ferguson has contributed her

signature potato salad and peach cobbler; and
	WHEREAS, The mother of State Representative Helen Giddings, 
this beloved woman has been a source of immense joy and strength to 
those around her over the course of her full and generous life, and
