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 the late Mrs. Blanche Simmons, a faithful servant of God, beloved wife, mother and friend. I include in the Record the following proclamation:
Whereas, Mrs. Simmons was a strong supporter of parent
teacher associations and other school activities that
encouraged children to ensure their growth and development as
productive citizens;
Whereas, Mrs. Simmons, who knew the value of an education
and service to one's country, saw many of her of children
graduate from colleges and universities, become educators and
lawyers and serve in the United States Army;
Whereas, Mrs. Simmons was an active member of Salter's
Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Miami, Florida;
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, am
proud to recognize the late Mrs. Blanche Simmons for her
commitment to God and her church, and for her dedication and
devotion to her family, friends and our community.
