Further, she is the proud mother of a beautiful daughter, Ramona G. Izzard, as well as grandmother to Jazmon D. Kearse, Esq., and Staff Sergeant Dezmon "Asa" Holmes. She also is "Gi-Gi" to Kaden McCants and Kamren Holmes; and

Whereas, Sylvia has been deemed the family's medical doctor and commander-in-chief since you can always find her accompanying and advising those in need. She has a reassuring spirit and a benevolent heart; and

Whereas, to honor her at this special time in her life, family and friends will join to celebrate Sylvia Gardner with a birthday drive-by on Saturday, July 3, 2021; and

Whereas, the House of Representatives takes great pleasure in honoring this daughter of South Carolina at the celebration of her seventy-sixth birthday, and the members join with her family and friends in congratulating her on reaching this important life milestone. Now, therefore,
