                        HON. DENNIS J. KUCINICH

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, November 5, 2009

  Mr. KUCINICH. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor and remembrance of 
the beloved Lena T. Hughes, devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-
grandmother, sister and friend.
  Mrs. Hughes' family was the foundation and joy of her life. She was 
the wife of the late Patrick Gilbert Hughes, with whom she created a 
loving home and raised three daughters, Rose, Lynne and Mary Jo. Their 
mutual devotion to family was reflected in the closeness they shared 
with their seven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
  Mrs. Hughes created a warm and inviting home for her family and 
friends. From never missing special events in the lives of her children 
and grandchildren, to preparing wonderful meals for family gatherings, 
her priority was always her family.
  Madam Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honor of Mrs. Lena T. 
Hughes, whose joyous spirit and love for others will exist forever 
within the hearts and memories of those who knew her best--her family 
and friends. I extend my deepest condolences to her daughters; her son-
in-law, Timothy; her seven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren; 
her sister, Anne; and to her many friends. Mrs. Hughes will be 
remembered always.

                          ____________________
