work and spirit this couple has invested in their marriage; and

their lives with great dignity and genuine grace, always demonstrating a
deep and continuing concern for human values and ideals, and in so
doing, they have inspired others to do the same; and

WHEREAS, These same values they have passed to their loved ones,
producing a family that is close-knit and supportive of its individual
members, public-minded in its relations to the community and committed
to the ideals of citizenship upon which this Nation was founded; and

WHEREAS, Today, they are the proud parents of three children,
Bernadette (Tom), Maryrose (Daniel) and Bernard, and the loving
grandparents of four grandchildren, Francesca, Bernard, Alexandra and
Alessandra; and

WHEREAS, Bernard and Antoinette Turi have touched the lives of their
family and many friends through the shining example of their marriage,
which is a testament to the devotion and admiration which they possess
for one another; and

WHEREAS, The longevity of this enduring marriage truly marks a
milestone in life's journey, an event of personal triumph and joy; and

occasion of such importance is brought to our attention, the same should
be memorialized by us for the edification and emulation of others; now,
therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Turi upon the occasion of celebrating
their 67th Wedding Anniversary; and be it further
