I knew the extraordinary woman named Faye Awada. She was a remarkable woman who left a legacy that has deeply impacted the community. Faye Awada's work was rooted in compassion and resilience, and she dedicated her life to helping others. Born in Lebanon, Faye was the eldest of 13. She immigrated to the United States in 1960. Her early struggles as a young mother fueled her determination to uplift the needs of our community. She devoted her life and assisted over 500,000 families that we know of with translation and other services. Faye was a trailblazer, emerging as one of Michigan's first female entrepreneurs. Her impact earned her the community spotlight award for unwavering dedication. Mr. Speaker, let us please honor her legacy and achievements as we continue the work that she began. I am sending love and strength to Faye Awada's family. ``May she rest in power,'' ``Allah Yerhama.'' Violation of the Leahy Laws and Conventional Arms Transfer Policy
