Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, from the 24th District of the great state of Florida, I rise today to recognize the late Mrs. Jeanet Grayson, a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, friend, and devoted member of Bethel Baptist Church.
I include in the Record the following proclamation:
Whereas, Mrs. Jeanet Grayson was the rock and foundation of
her large and loving family of 17 children, 68 grandchildren,
63 great-grandchildren, 10 great-great-grandchildren, 2
brothers, 2 nephews, 2 nieces, 2 great nephews, 1 great
niece, 2 godchildren, 3 adopted daughters, 7 sisters-in-law,
and 6 brothers-in-law; and
Whereas, Mrs. Grayson was entrusted with the lives of
hundreds of schol children and took great responsibility in
caring for them as a bus driver and food service provider
with Miami Dade County Public Schools, and as a bus driver
and student attendant at Whole Word Christian Academy: and
Whereas, Mrs. Grayson was a founder of The Road Runners, an
organization of Southwest Transportation; and
Whereas, Mrs. Grayson was a faithful member of Bethel
Baptist Church, where she
sang in the choir and was a driver for the Evangelism
Ministry; 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,
commend the late Mrs. Jeanet Grayson for her dedication to
her family and friends and her church and for her commitment
to our community.
