“I thank the gentleman from Montana for yielding. I thank the gentleman from Arkansas (Mr. Hill), my dear friend and colleague, another Representative from Arkansas for joining me here at the well. Mr. Speaker, I am here today to honor and remember the remarkable life of my constituent, Jennifer Ann Morton, a beloved daughter, sister, aunt, and friend whose life was senselessly taken far too young. While I did not have the opportunity to meet Jennifer myself, I understand she was a warm-hearted woman with unwavering principles. Born and raised in central Arkansas, Jennifer attended the University of the Ozarks for her undergraduate education. She later attended UAMS, where she obtained her license in respiratory therapy to pursue her passion for taking care of children as a respiratory therapist in the Infant Toddler Unit at Arkansas Children's Hospital. Her dedication to her work and her love for the children she cared for were unparalleled. For nearly 20 years, Jennifer was a loyal supporter of the Texarkana Baptist Children's Home. The team at Baptist Kids knew Miss Jennifer as a compassionate and empathetic contributor to their mission, someone who never hesitated to support Arkansas children. With each donation, whether monetary or gifts for the kids, she always sent a personal and intentional letter to express her gratitude and care for the folks at Baptist Kids. Her tender and caring heart was evident through her love for her nephews.…”
