“I am happy to be here today to come to the floor of the House to join with my colleagues in the House to commemorate the life and work of a dear friend, the strong and vibrant Maureen Reagan. The numerous contributions that Maureen made to the causes and charities that she pursued would remind all of us of the person, the courage, and the passion and the leadership qualities that she shared with her father. Never once did Maureen, even though she was afflicted with cancer, ever complain about her status, her health, or the fact that she did have a terrible disease called cancer. She was always vibrant, she was always outspoken, always talking positively and passionately about the future and where she was going with her work in dealing with these charitable organizations and issues that she did deal with. In putting these great qualities to work, Maureen would go on to leave many of her own footsteps across this Nation for many to follow.”
