  Mr. DAVID DAVIS of Tennessee. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor 
the memory of Carol Kiener, a resident of the First District, who 
passed away on March 24th of this year.
  Mrs. Kiener was a pillar of her community and cornerstone of her 
family. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family during this 
difficult time.
  Mrs. Kiener spent more than thirty years in the field of education. 
She loved life and shared that with the children she taught. As a 
passionate volunteer, Mrs. Kiener taught adult GED classes in her spare 
time.
  Outside of teaching, Mrs. Kiener volunteered her time with the 
Washington County Historical Society, the Girl Scouts of America, and 
the March of Dimes. She also was an active member of the Washington 
County Republican Women and was a member of the B'nai Sholom 
Congregation in Bristol.
  Mrs. Kiener was well respected by her students, colleagues, and 
parents as an admired educator. Madam Speaker, I ask you and my fellow 
members to join me in honoring the life of Mrs. Carol Kiener, a loving 
wife, servant in her community, and a compassionate educator, whose 
commitment and unwavering determination will be greatly missed 
throughout East Tennessee.
