Over the weekend of July 4, sweet, precious, 2-year-old angel, Wynter Cole Smith of Lansing was kidnapped and killed by a truly evil person. Two years old, murdered with an iPhone charging cable. Everyone in Michigan is horrified by this heinous and despicable crime; a bright light snuffed out way too early. Madam Speaker, our thoughts and prayers are with Wynter's family, and I ask that all Members in the Chamber and those in the gallery please rise for a moment of silence to honor and remember this beautiful, beautiful soul. We love Wynter Cole Smith, and she will always be in our hearts. ____________________
