                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 23, 2004

  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker:
  Whereas, I hereby offer my heartfelt condolences to the family and 
friends of Nina DiScipio; and
  Whereas, Nina DiScipio was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and 
great grandmother to the members of her family; and
  Whereas, Nina DiScipio took pride in her role as a mother and 
homemaker and was named the Ohio Valley Chamber of Commerce Mother of 
the Year in 1990, receiving recognition from the Ohio House of 
Representatives for this honor; and
  Whereas, Nina, who gave continuous support to her community, earned 
an appointment, by Governor James A. Rhodes, to the Jefferson Technical 
Board of Trustees in 1980. In 2002, the Nina Gentile Scholarship was 
established in her honor; and
  Whereas, in 2003, The Franciscan University Steubenville honored Nina 
and her husband Tony by naming the University's art gallery, The 
Gentile Gallery, and presenting them with the Founder's Award; and
  Whereas, the kindness and compassion she showed towards others will 
stand as a reminder of a truly remarkable person. Her life and love 
gave joy to all who knew her; and
  Therefore, while I understand how words cannot express our grief at 
this most trying of times, I offer this token of profound sympathy to 
the family and friends Nina DiScipio.
