                IN HONOR AND REMEMBRANCE OF SUE WALTERS

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. DENNIS J. KUCINICH

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 19, 2007

  Mr. KUCINICH. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor and remembrance of 
Sue Walters, loving mother, grandmother, community activist, and dear 
friend and mentor to many. Her passing marks a great loss for her 
family and friends, and also for our entire Cleveland community, whom 
she served with the highest level of commitment, concern, integrity and 
honor.
  Mrs. Walters worked tirelessly in support of the democratic process. 
Her involvement in several local campaigns, including my own, infused a 
vital level of energy throughout the process, and inspired everyone 
around her. ``Susie,'' as she was affectionately known by friends and 
co-workers, reflected an exceptional sense of humor, and her 
consistently sunny outlook naturally drew others to her--elevating the 
spirits of all of us.
  Madam Speaker and Colleagues, please join me in honor and remembrance 
of Sue Walters, whose boundless love for life served as a source of 
inspiration and joy for everyone who knew her well. I extend my deepest 
condolences to her beloved husband, Thomas; her children, Michelle and 
Thomas; her grandchildren, Jill Marie and Anthony Thomas; and also to 
her extended family and many friends.
  Mrs. Walter's immeasurable heart, sparkling personality and focus on 
social action has forever touched the lives of countless individuals, 
young and old, and her unbridled spirit and vital work will soar 
forever in the hearts of those who knew and loved her well, especially 
her family, friends and the people of Cleveland, Ohio.
