                        Wednesday, June 19, 2002

  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I stand today to pay 
tribute to Ms. LouElla C. Allen, a native of Canton, MS. Ms. Allen has 
done numerous deeds for her community and still continues today.
  Ms. Allen has been a dedicated teacher at Linwood Schools (Yazoo 
County) for more than 13 years and has served diligently for the 
betterment of ones around her and also her community. Ms. Allen is an 
active member of the Mount Olive Missionary Baptist Church where she 
serves as Youth Department Director. She is also an active participant 
in her church's choir.
  Ms. Allen is a good mother, who is greatly admired by her children, 
peers, and coworkers. Ms. Allen is truly the epitome for what a ``role 
model'' should be. She serve in such capacities which consist of 
leader, advisor, guide, and inspirer. She has and always will touch the 
lives of the people around her.
  Ms. Allen is the driving force for the successful paths of many 
citizens in my District. She should truly be thanked. Her strength and 
leadership have been the main reason why this single mother's children 
have done as well as they have. Her early teachings gave her daughter 
the will and determination to receive her Masters from the Alcorn State 
University in Administration, and her oldest son, the sound mind to 
finish his Bachelors Degree in Computer Networking and her youngest, 
the insight to become an intern in my Washington office who will attend 
The University of Southern Mississippi.
