  Mr. LEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the memory of Vivian Lois 
Bell who served the people of her community in many ways.
  From 1967 through 1980, in her position first as deputy clerk and 
then clerk of Royal Oak Township, Ms. Bell served the people of Royal 
Oak Township with caring, devotion, and excellence in the many areas 
under her supervision.
  Following her retirement as clerk, Ms. Bell devoted several years 
providing care for her oldest grandchild before she re-entered the 
workforce as a secretary for Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Michigan. 
She retired in 1996 and spent her remaining years caring for her grown 
family of grandchildren.
  Ms. Bell will long be remembered for her smile, her encouragement, 
and her wisdom in all her endeavors. She was dear friend to many and 
she will be missed.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in offering our 
condolences to the family and friends of Vivian Lois Bell who passed 
away September 8, 2001.
