RESOLUTION OF RESPECT WHEREAS: Sister Cynthia Holmes joined the International Free and Accepted Modern Masons and the Order of the Eastern Star uniting with Constellation Chapter #222. Her quest for knowledge and understanding led her to exemplify honesty, courage, love, kindness, endurance, and courtesy to the highest Degree of the Order, AND

WHEREAS: she was prepared to faithfully perform the duties and to accept the responsibilities of a true sister. Her knowledge and leadership capabilities were developed and utilized to the fullest, AND WHEREAS: friendship is a golden chain, our chain of friendship was broken when Sister Cynthia Holmes stepped to the other side of the River of Jordan. Answering the call of our Lord when He said, "the day is done, the work is finished, lay down your tools and come to the kingdom I prepared for you from the beginning of the world", AND

WHEREAS: we may never consult with her about our worldly affairs and problems. She had advised, taught, and consoled us on different aspects of life.

AND BE IT THEREFORE

RESOLVED THAT: Sister Cynthia Holmes is waiting for us in the city of peace and we can count on God's word, for He said, "I will never fail you nor forsake you".

We find comfort and hope that the family and friends can find the same comfort in knowing that she is no longer sick and suffering but well and happy with our Lord.
