R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Words cannot adequately express the sorrow felt at
the death of Benjamin Palmer Bradley of Gladewater, who passed away
on February 6, 2011, at the age of 24; and
WHEREAS, A native of Prescott, Arizona, Ben Bradley was born

abiding Christian faith; and

at Tyler, where he was a staff member of the Patriot Talon; he also
shared his time to benefit the youth of Kids Reach and was active in
the congregation at Calvary Baptist Church; and

hearts of those who were privileged to share in his love and
affection; now, therefore, be it
