                    RECOGNIZING STEWART ENTERPRISES

 Mr. VITTER. Mr. President, today I wish to honor Stewart 
Enterprises, headquartered in Jefferson, LA. They will be celebrating 
their centennial anniversary on April 26, 2010.
  Stewart has been caring for Louisiana families since 1910 and is 
highly regarded for its ability to help families in times of critical 
need. It is also, with more than 5,000 employees, one of the largest 
publicly traded companies in Louisiana.
  Based on their purpose of ``caring for people, making a difference'' 
they have always done an outstanding job in helping people celebrate 
the lives of their lost loved ones and making sure they are 
memorialized as the families wish. In a family's time of need, Stewart 
Enterprises treats the family with dignity and respect while providing 
them with funeral operations, cemetery operations, and prearrangements. 
They are dedicated to making difficult times a little easier.
  Thus, today, I stand in recognition of Stewart Enterprises' 
centennial anniversary and thank them for their service and 
contributions not only to the State of Louisiana but also to families 
across our Nation.
