| 9 | initially served underneath the leadership of Bishop Willie J. | ||||||

| 16 | and community landscape; she has served with distinction on | ||||||
| 17 | the Mother's Board and as coordinator for the Greeters | ||||||
| 18 | Ministry, and her active participation as a member of the | ||||||
| 19 | Nursing Board and her significant contributions to the Sunday | ||||||
| 20 | School Ministry have further underscored her commitment to the | ||||||
| 21 | Miracle Revival Cathedral community; and
| ||||||
| 22 | WHEREAS, Beyond her organizational roles, Mother Stegall | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | has proven to be a community leader known for her loving and | ||||||
| 2 | caring spirit, consistently extending a helping hand to those | ||||||
| 3 | in need and making an impact on the youth through offering | ||||||
| 4 | encouragement, advice, and wisdom; her influence was | ||||||
| 5 | especially apparent in the pivotal role she played in the | ||||||
| 6 | inception of the Community Health Awareness initiative, | ||||||
| 7 | conducted through West Suburban Neighborhood Development and | ||||||
| 8 | Miracle Revival Cathedral in 2006; her visionary leadership | ||||||
| 9 | saw the establishment of the church's annual Community Health | ||||||
| 10 | Fair, a transformative event providing free medical and dental | ||||||
| 11 | services, distributing essential supplies, and offering | ||||||
| 12 | wholesome entertainment for the entire community; and
| ||||||
| 13 | WHEREAS, Mother Stegall is the matriarch of her family, | ||||||
| 14 | embracing her role as a mother to seven, a grandmother to six, | ||||||
| 15 | a great-grandmother to six, a great-great-grandmother to one, | ||||||
| 16 | and a godmother to two, with her home serving as a haven, a | ||||||
| 17 | place where values are instilled and the legacy of her warmth | ||||||
| 18 | and kindness continues to flourish; therefore, be it
| ||||||
| 19 | RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ONE | ||||||
| 20 | HUNDRED THIRD GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that | ||||||
| 21 | we commend Eddie Mae "Mother" Stegall for her decades of | ||||||

| 23 | community; and be it further
