  Mr. BROWN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Dana Reeve, who 
lost her battle to cancer yesterday at the age of 44.
  Like her husband, Christopher, Dana will be remembered for her 
resilience and courage in the face of adversity.
  Dana stood by her husband as he fought for his life, working as a 
tireless advocate for increased funding to find the key to reversing 
paralysis.
  Through the Christopher Reeve Foundation they created together, Chris 
and Dana moved the science forward and brought hope to 2 million 
paralyzed Americans and their families.
  After Christopher's death in 2004, Dana skillfully led the foundation 
where she established Quality of Life initiatives to improve the day-
to-day lives of paralyzed people. She founded the Christopher and Dana 
Reeve Paralysis Resource Center.
  Though her life was much too short, Dana left an indelible mark on 
this world. Her grace and personal strength are an inspiration to us 
all.
