           IN HONOR AND REMEMBRANCE OF CHRISTINA SUNGA RYOOK

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. DENNIS J. KUCINICH

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 25, 2002

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor, recognition, and 
remembrance of Christina Sunga Ryook, whose young and vibrant life was 
tragically cut short on the darkest day in the history of America.
  Despite their profound sorrow and pain, Dae Jin Ryook and Kyung Woo 
Ryook, father and mother of Christina, have found the courage to speak 
of their beloved daughter—to share their thoughts with the world, 
letting us know and understand the beauty within the heart, soul and 
spirit that characterized Christina.
  Christina's love for life, and love for her parents, extended family 
and close circle of friends, was a true gift—a gift she gave 
freely. She kindly extended her generosity, compassion and 
thoughfulness to everyone she knew, and her kind and loving spirit will 
live on forever in all who knew her.
  Mr. Speaker and Colleagues, please join me in honor and remembrance 
of Christina Sunga Ryook, who possessed a profound sense of joy for 
life, and whose inner light radiates within the hearts of everyone who 
loves her. Please join me as I extend my deepest condolences to 
Christina's beloved parents—Dae Jin Ryook and Kyung Woo Ryook. 
May you both find solace and comfort by the light and memories of your 
special, cherished and beloved daughter, Christina Sunga Ryook.
