On the recordFebruary 28, 2024
We, the Georgia delegation, rise tonight to honor the life and legacy of Laken Riley, who was murdered last week in Athens, Georgia, on the campus of the University of Georgia. Allow me to share a few words about Laken directly from her parents: Laken was an amazing daughter, sister, and friend. She was selfless, lived to be an example for others, and was a dedicated servant of her community from a young age. Laken's servant heart came from her love for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who guided her steps and shaped the way she lived. Her faith informed her decision to enter the nursing program at Augusta University where she joined the A Chi O sorority and made countless friends who loved her and miss her dearly. I will conclude with this message to Laken from her mom and dad: ``Rest in peace, our angel. We look forward to seeing you again one day in heaven. Until then, we will do our best to make you proud.'' God help us. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Loudermilk).
