R E S O L U T I O N

WHEREAS, Loved ones are mourning the untimely passing of Alice Marie Hamilton of Waco, who died on March 14, 2011, at the age of 59; and

WHEREAS, In her capacity as an eligibility supervisor with the Health and Human Services Commission, Ms. Hamilton oversaw the work of 17 employees; even on the most stressful days she maintained a calm and down-to-earth manner, and her unfailing patience, stellar work ethic, and radiant smile endeared her to colleagues throughout the course of her nearly two decades as a state employee; over the years, she established warm friendships with her coworkers, as well as with fellow congregants at Mt. Sinai Baptist Church; and
