  Mr. McCLINTOCK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of 
Joan Sue Huey.
  Joan Huey was born on September 29, 1928 in a small farming village 
in China. In 1947, she married her life's love, Albert Huey, who served 
in the United States Army during World War II. In 1948 they welcomed 
the birth of their son, Dennis. They immigrated to the United States in 
1951, settling in San Francisco to seek a better life for their growing 
family, which by then included two beautiful daughters, Dora and Diana.
  Throughout the years, Joan juggled the hectic duties of being a wife 
and mother. She

helped manage the family finances and worked as a seamstress to provide 
extra income. But she was happiest when cooking traditional Chinese 
meals and delicacies; taking great pride in being an excellent chef and 
she especially looked forward to cooking for her grandsons. Joan was an 
accomplished orchid horticulturist, who proudly displayed her flowering 
orchids throughout her home and generously shared the lovely blooms 
with family and friends.
  After the passing of her husband, Joan devoted her time to her family 
until her own passing on May 15, 2010 at the age of 81. The legacy 
embodied by her loving family is a testament to the ongoing story of 
American opportunity. Madam Speaker, Joan Huey was a devoted wife, 
mother, and grandmother and I am proud to rise today in remembrance of 
her life, and to express my condolences to her family.
