                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 13, 2008

  Mr. KUCINICH. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor and recognition of 
George and Ann Marie Lazar, as they celebrate fifty years of devotion 
to each other, to their family and many close friends. Their 
unbreakable union represents a deep and enduring love, not only for 
each other, but also for their children, grandchildren and for their 
community.
  George Lazar and Ann Marie Seaman wed on May 10, 1958 at St. Bonafice 
Church in Cleveland, Ohio. Shortly after their wedding, they moved to 
Parma, where they have grown together, raised a family and become an 
integral part of the community. They have lived on the same street in 
Parma since their move from Cleveland; raising, guiding and nurturing 
their three children: Georgeanne, George, and Suzanne. They are the 
proud grandparents of seven talented and beautiful grandchildren; Sean, 
Christopher, Alex, Emily, Vincent, Derek, and Valerie, to whom they 
provide much comfort and love.
  Throughout their lives together, both George and Ann Marie have 
dedicated their time and talents within the community that they have 
been a part of for so long. George, a veteran of the Korean War, is a 
long-standing member of the Honor Guard with American Legion Post 703. 
Ann Marie is also an active member of the same Post and served as a 
precinct committee member for the Democratic Party in Parma. Their 
dedication to helping others is evidenced at Holy Family Church where 
George sings in the choir and where Anne Marie volunteers in several 
different capacities. Anne Marie also volunteers for Meals on Wheels in 
Parma. Their legacy will be one of dedication to their family, to their 
church, and to their community.
  Madam Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honor and celebration 
of George and Ann Marie Lazar, as they celebrate this momentous 
occasion--their 50th wedding anniversary. May their commitment to each 
other, their family and their community continue to inspire us to 
follow our dreams, to give back to our community, and to hold family 
closest in our hearts.
