                     Wednesday, September 20, 2006

  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me today to 
honor Patricia Holsinger Ryan for her years of service to our Middle 
Tennessee community.
  While Patricia recently passed away, we know her legacy is one of 
charity and dedication. We know that her memory lives on in our 
memories and in those who benefited from her good works.
  Patricia was known for her compassion and care for those in 
Williamson County's senior homes and Alzheimer centers. She brought her 
warmth and compassion to those in need.
  Her work with mistreated pets across the State meant homes for 
thousands of unwanted animals, and was yet another sign of Patricia's 
commitment to giving back more to her community than she took.
  We won't forget Patricia and our community is a better place for her 
life and her work.
