HON. FREDERICA S. WILSON

in the house of representatives
Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, from the 24th District of the great state of Florida, I rise today to recognize and honor the late Tequila Janae Tekeysha Forshee. I include in the Record the following proclamation in her honor:
Whereas, Tequila was a vibrant, fun loving and beautiful
12-year-old girl who loved to help others and dreamed of one
day becoming a chef and a detective;
Whereas, Tequila enjoyed mathematics and excelled in her
studies at Brentwood Elementary School and looked forward to
attending Miami Carol City Middle School;
Whereas, Tequila's hard work as a student earned her a
place on the Assistant Principal's Honor Roll and numerous
awards such as the Language Arts Achievement Award, and the
Mathematics Achievement Award;
Whereas, Tequila was a member of the dance praise team at
Gospel of Tabernacle and a water girl at Brentwood Park; and
Now, therefore, be it resolved that I, Frederica S. Wilson,
a member of the United States House of Representatives,
representing the 24th Congressional District of Florida,
recognize and pay tribute to Tequila Janae Tekeysha Forshee,
a precious angel with a big heart and who was deeply loved by
her family, friends and classmates.
