Mr. McGARVEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. McGARVEY. Mr. Speaker, it is hard to believe, but it has been 3 years now since my hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, was forever changed by the mass shooting at Old National Bank on the Monday morning after Easter.
It has been 3 years since we lost Josh Barrick; Deana Eckert; Juliana Farmer; Jim Tutt; and my good friend Tommy Elliott.
Mr. Speaker, 3 years have passed, and it is still shocking. It still hurts. We are still grieving.
read what Tommy's wife, Maryanne, courageously shared after this tragedy:
“May I continue to receive the gifts of grief to help heal my heart.
“May it offer me clarity, help me realize what matters and what doesn't, and then let the rest go.
“May I honor the unsolved questions and mysteries of life, the cracks; and look for the light that shines through them.”
May we all.
