  Ms. EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
pay tribute to the six residents of Brentwood Healthcare in the 
Southeast Dallas Community of Pleasant Grove who have reached 100 years 
old. They are:
  Allie M. Davis--100 years old, Cornelius Montgomery--104 years old, 
Marie Duke--100 years old, Annie Laurie Taylor--102 years old, Viola D. 
Page--102 years old, and Guadalupe G. Cortez--106 years old.
  National Nursing Home Week will take place from May 10, 2009, to May 
16, 2009, and Brentwood Healthcare will celebrate the long lives of 
these six individuals by having Centenarian Day at their facility on 
May 15, 2009. These residents have witnessed an extraordinary amount of 
history, and their long lives are an inspiration to all of us.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring these centenarians, and I 
wish them continued life, good health, and strength.
