                        Tuesday, April 13, 2010

  Mr. ROGERS of Kentucky. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Mrs. 
Faye Cain Sears of Somerset, Kentucky on the occasion of her 100th 
birthday.
  Mrs. Sears has long been admired by her community. The mother of four 
children and blessed with many grandchildren, great grandchildren, 
nieces and nephews, she has been a wonderful Christian example to them 
and the numerous friends and acquaintances she has known over the 
years. Her devotion to God, her family, and her community have been the 
driving force of her long life.
  While her husband, Goebel Sears, served our nation in the Navy during 
World War Two, Faye moved to New York City, where she worked at the 
Woolworth Company in Brooklyn. Upon returning to Kentucky, she worked 
tirelessly in the community as an election officer, precinct 
chairwoman, and attended the inauguration of several Kentucky 
governors. She has also been awarded the prestigious ``Kentucky 
Colonel'' award for her involvement. During her spare time she is 
active in the Senior Friends organization, enjoys gardening and, of 
course, University of Kentucky basketball.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join with me in honoring Mrs. 
Faye Cain Sears who throughout her life has continued to bless all 
those who know her and cherish her friendship and love. I am proud to 
have her in my home community and honored to serve her in the House of 
Representatives. Her 100th birthday is only the latest in a long list 
of milestones in her life, and I am sure there will be many more.

                          ____________________
