The resolution expresses deep sorrow over the passing of Saysomboun Phivilay, who was a cherished wife, mother, and grandmother. She was married to Khamsing Phivilay for fifty years and was a devoted mother to Phanida and Alina, as well as a loving grandmother to several grandchildren. Born in Thakhek, Laos, she immigrated to the United States in 1980, where she created a warm and welcoming home for her family, sharing her Laotian heritage and traditions through cooking and family gatherings.

In recognition of her kindness and the impact she had on her loved ones, the House of Representatives of the State of Rhode Island extends its heartfelt condolences to the Phivilay family. The resolution also directs the Secretary of State to send a certified copy of this resolution to Khamsing Phivilay and the families of Phanida and Alina, honoring the memory of Saysomboun Phivilay and the legacy of love she leaves behind.
