Announcements, Adjournment Honors, and Remarks Under Special Privilege
Senator Agard, with unanimous consent, asked that the Senate adjourn, in honor of her brother, Wyatt Berryman Agard, who passed away on May 3rd, 2021.
Senator Erpenbach, with unanimous consent, asked that the Senate adjourn, in honor of Art and Phyliss Hellenbrand. Some people go their whole life looking for “the one” — their person, lover, confidant —but to no avail. For others, experiencing the emotions surrounding love may infrequently emerge and soon drift away like a midday dream. Finding love is difficult in this world. True love, rare. Art and Phyliss Hellenbrand, were two strangers at dance hall back in 1948 when fate decided to intervene. On May 16th, 1950, they married and had four children soon after. A quick back of the envelop calculation and you’ll be at a subtle 70 years of marriage— an amazing accomplishment. Their complimentary qualities, mutual respect, and commitment for one another were reinforced by faith, family, and friends. Art’s outspokenness and curiosity paired with Phyliss’ quiet nature and maternal spirit was a potent combination. The way that they looked at each other, you could sense a spark, something undeniably special about their relationship. Sadly, in recent weeks, their health declined and their love story slowly entered a new phase into the afterworld. They both passed away within days of each other - a testament to their magical bond. Losing them both so abruptly is heartbreaking to their friends and family, who found comfort in their presence and will forever look back at their time together fondly. Rest easy grandma and grandpa Hellenbrand.
Senator Wanggaard, with unanimous consent, asked that the Senate adjourn, in honor of his daughter Amy Wanggaard who is the mother of his three granddaughters on the anniversary of her birthday June, 7th.
