Assembly Resolution No. 101

BY: M. of A. Durso

 MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
 February 14, 2025, as P.S. I Love You Day in the
 State of New York

 WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to recognize
official days that are set aside to increase awareness of serious mental
health issues that affect the lives of citizens of New York State; and

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim February 14, 2025, as P.S.
I Love You Day in the State of New York; and

 WHEREAS, P.S. I Love You Day, this year celebrating its 15th
Anniversary, is held annually on the second Friday of February in over
100 communities across New York State; and

 WHEREAS, P.S. I Love You Day was initiated in 2010 by founders
Jaimie and Brooke DiPalma, along with their family and the West Islip
High School Class of 2014, to celebrate the memory of their father and
anyone in the State of New York who has been lost to suicide; they used
the last three words their father said to them, "I Love You," as the
inspiration for this significant day; and

 WHEREAS, An active member of his community, Joseph DiPalma, Jr. was
a former NYPD officer, ex-Chief of the West Islip Fire Department, and
President of his Local Chamber of Commerce; tragically, he passed away
on April 23, 2010; and

 WHEREAS, P.S. I Love You Day invites all New Yorkers to wear purple
on February 14, 2025, to bring awareness to the importance of mental
health, to stand up to bullying, and to spread kindness; and

 WHEREAS, It is imperative that there be greater awareness of serious
mental health conditions, and more must be done to increase activity at
the local, State and National levels; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim February 14, 2025, as P.S.
I Love You Day in the State of New York; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That copies of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of New
York; and founders, Jaimie and Brooke DiPalma.
