SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 907
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
recognize Roland Williams for his outstanding contributions to |
|
his community; and |
|
WHEREAS, Roland Williams and his wife of nearly 69 years, |
|
Gloria Williams, are residents of the Wesley Court senior living |
|
community in Abilene; soon after moving to the facility, |
|
Mr. Williams realized that he rarely saw anyone visiting with his |
|
fellow residents; and |
|
WHEREAS, A former pastor, Mr. Williams decided to continue |
|
his ministry as the facility's volunteer chaplain to bring |
|
comfort and companionship to the members of his community; and |
|
WHEREAS, His visits and his warm and caring manner have |
|
lifted the spirits of residents and brought joy to many; in |
|
addition to visiting residents in their rooms, he also leads |
|
Sunday school classes each week at Wesley Court for those who are |
|
unable to attend church; and |
|
WHEREAS, In appreciation of his generous spirit and his |
|
kindness in reaching out to help his fellow man, Mr. Williams has |
|
been nominated for Big Hearts in the Big Country; it is truly |
|
fitting that he receive special recognition for his good works; |
|
now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th |
|
Legislature, hereby commend Roland Williams for tending to the |
|
spiritual well-being of his neighbors with compassion and |
|
genuine concern and extend to him best wishes for continued |
|
success in all his endeavors; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
him as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. |
