                    IN MEMORY OF NICOLE REGINA WHITE

                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 1, 2007

  Mr. FORBES. Madam Speaker, I rise today in memory of Nicole Regina 
White, who was tragically killed in the recent attack at Virginia 
Polytechnic Institute and State University on April 16, 2007.
  Nicole was known to many as a person who possessed the heart of a 
servant. She found ways to invest in those around her, whether it was 
through conversation, friendship, lending a helping hand, or through 
volunteer work. As a trained emergency medical technician, she is 
believed to have even been helping people in the final moments of her 
life. Those who were close to her know how passionately Nicole gave 
back to her community, classmates, teachers, and family. She was a 
committed member of her church's outreach program, a Sunday school 
teacher, an EMT for the Smithfield Volunteer Fire and Rescue Squad, and 
a lifeguard at her local YMCA.
  Many say that one of Nicole's greatest loves in life was taking care 
of animals. During high school, Nicole volunteered at local stables and 
barns to take care of horses. In this hobby, it is clear to see that 
Nicole's heart and mission in life was to serve and care for others. 
Nicole was a double-major in International Relations and German at 
Virginia Tech.
  Nicole was a person who loved life, loved serving people, loved her 
family, and, most importantly, loved the Lord. Although her life was 
tragically cut short, many are blessed to have known and loved her.
