Dear Speaker Harwood:
As the 1999 General Assembly session comes to a close, my sister Lisa, my brother Paul and I wanted to take the opportunity to thank formally the members of the House for their support following the sudden passing in March of our mother and your colleague, Representative Rose Larisa.
Although a member of this body for a short time, Rose cherished the relationship she formed with so many of you. Rose truly loved her role as an elected representative of the people of Rhode Island and had the greatest respect for the House as an institution.
The participation of the House as Rose's wake and funeral and the tremendous show of support and compassion by House members was very much appreciated during this difficult time.
With warm regards,
JOSEPH S. LARISA, JR.
LISA LARISA
PAUL LARISA
Received and ordered to be placed on file.

INVOCATION
REPRESENTATIVE CHARLES J. LEVESQUE
In July, 1776, as the Continental Congress rushed to adjourn before the July 4 holiday, and Thomas Jefferson labored on his letter to the word, John Adams wrote to a friend: "The object is great which we have in view and we must expect a great expence of $2000 to obtain it. But we should always remember that a free constitutional or civil government cannot be purchased at too near a rate, as there is nothing on this side of the new Jerusalem of equal importance to mankind."
