                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 10, 1999

  Mr. BARR of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, sooner or later, all of us have to 
deal with the death of a loved one. Often, during that difficult time, 
the devotion, counsel, and wisdom of another person can make a bad 
experience a little easier to bear.
  Parnick Jennings of Rome, GA, is one such person. For the past 50 
years, he has operated Jennings Funeral Home in Cartersville, GA. In 
the process, he has consoled thousands of grieving friends, spouses, 
relatives, and children as they work through the most difficult moments 
of their lives.
  The involvement by Parnick Jennings in our society and his community, 
however, have not ended at the doors of his business. After graduating 
from the University of Tennessee, he served with the U.S. military 
during the Korean war. Since then, he has been involved in many civic 
groups such as the Rome Kiwanis Club, where he is a charter member, and 
the Floyd County Baptist Association, where he served as a Brotherhood 
Director.
  Mr. Jennings has also served his community on the Shorter College 
Board of Trustees, and the Southern Baptist Sunday School Board of 
Trustees. In all that he has done, he has given freely of his time and 
energy to make northwest Georgia a better in which place to live and 
work.
  I join a grateful community in offering a sincere thanks for a 
lifetime of devotion to others exemplified by Parnick Jennings.
