                        Thursday October 2, 2008

  Mr. CHILDERS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of the 
late William ``Son'' Edwin Hudson, Sr. who was tragically taken from us 
Friday, September 26, 2008. Mr. Hudson was a native Mississippian, and 
member of Sardis Lake Baptist Church. He was known in the community as 
a public servant, and served as the Panola County Emergency 911 Civil 
Defense Coordinator.
  Mr. Hudson lost his life in a tragic automobile accident, at the age 
of 65. He was very active in his community; he was a director of the 
Panola County Homeland Security, the Panola County E-911 Coordinator 
and Panola County Fire Coordinator. His life of service and friendship 
to the Panola County region will not be forgotten.
  William ``Son'' Edwin Hudson, Sr. is survived by his brother, James 
Rodney Hudson of Sardis, his two daughters, his two sons, and his seven 
grandchildren. The great State of Mississippi thanks him for his 
contributions. I ask my colleagues to join me today in remembering 
William ``Son'' Edwin Hudson, Sr. in their thoughts and prayers.
