                       Tuesday, February 23, 2010

  Mr. KUCINICH. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor of Mrs. Minnie L. 
Jones in celebration of her 90th birthday.
  Mrs. Jones has been blessed over her lifetime with faith, family and 
friends. She is known for her positive outlook and for seeing the good 
in others. She lives every day with a grateful heart and warm smile.
  Mrs. Jones' abiding faith continues to be a source of strength and 
joy. She is a life-long member of and missionary with the African 
Methodist Episcopal Church of Cleveland, Ohio, where she volunteers her 
time. Aside from her time at the church, Mrs. Jones' greatest joy in 
life is spending time with her family and friends. She remains close 
with her grown children--Billy, Patricia, Mabel, Kenneth, Stafford, 
Sandra, Larry and Cindy. She is also a doting grandmother and great-
grandmother. Mrs. Jones loves to cook and share memorable holiday and 
Sunday meals with family and friends, and welcomes everyone with 
hospitality and friendship.
  Madam Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honor of Mrs. Minnie 
L. Jones upon the joyous occasion of her 90th birthday. Her love of 
family, love of life, service to others and youthful spirit have all 
served as an inspirational example for all of us to follow. I wish Mrs. 
Jones abundance of peace, health and happiness today, and throughout 
the years to come.
