En lenguaje claro

The resolution recounts his 20 years of leadership with the Atlanta Jamaican Association, including serving as president and vice president, and his contributions to the Jamaican diaspora community in Atlanta and Jamaica. It expresses the House's condolences to his family, including his wife Doreen, daughter Tiffany, and grandson Enzo. The Clerk of the House is directed to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the family.
