Political Quotes

“I rise to recognize my constituent Eileen Quine, who celebrated her 100th birthday on Halloween. Eileen's children describe her as a loving wife to her husband, a master sergeant in the Marine Corps, with whom she shared 74 years of marriage before his passing. She was heavily involved in the lives of her three children: Karen, Ronald, and Loree, always providing a welcoming home where their friends could gather. She has five grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, and ten nieces and nephews who all call her weekly and some even daily to keep in touch. She is a social animal who loves being with people and is a wonderful friend, aunt, and, most of all, mother. Mr. Speaker, I wish Eileen a very happy 100th birthday.”
