                        Thursday, March 14, 2002

  Mr. FOLEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a man who has been a 
true asset to his community. His caring and guidance have touched many 
families and friends in need of support.
  I speak of Dr. Stephen Lipman, Senior Pastoral Counselor for Hospice 
of Palm Beach County for the past 19 years. Fortunately, Steve is not 
retiring, but is offering his services as the Pastor of the Jupiter 
Medical Center.
  We all know of the fine work Hospice offers and what kind of a person 
it takes to counsel the individuals and their families whose loved ones 
are in the transition for their final stages of life.
  Dr. Lipman's services have gone beyond that: whether it is counseling 
young children, lending kindness to the terminally ill or simply 
offering a smiling face, you can always count on Steve. He exemplifies 
all that is good in a individual.
  I would like to join the communities of South Florida and thank Dr. 
Lipman for his sincere dedication and years of service.
  Mr. Speaker, please let the record reflect the 107th Congress' 
appreciation for all he has done.

                          ____________________
