        TRIBUTE TO DOROTHY CLARA KRALICEK AND DELLA MARIE GOEGEN

 Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, today I wish to recognize Dorothy 
Clara Kralicek and Della Marie Goegen.
  Dorothy and Della were born on April 8, 1920, at the family farm near 
Menominee, NE, where they learned about the true riches of family life. 
Today, they both live in Yankton, SD, continuing to pass along family 
values and faith as matriarchs of their vast families. Between them, 
they have 18 children and numerous grandchildren.
  Dorothy and Della are both excellent homemakers and have recently 
enjoyed traveling together to several sites in Europe. On Mother's Day, 
May 9, 2010, both ladies will be honored by a gathering of family and 
friends in Sioux Falls, SD.
  This honorable recognition is clearly well deserved. Dorothy and 
Della's dedication to their families is a shining example of the 
steadfast commitment, devotion, and inspiration they have freely given 
to everyone throughout their lives.
  It gives me great pleasure to commemorate the 90th birthdays of 
Dorothy and Della and to wish them continued health and happiness in 
the years to come.
