  Mr. DAVIS of Illinois. Madam Speaker, I take this opportunity to 
congratulate Mrs. Emma Allen who was born on June 2, in Bessemer, 
Alabama and now resides at Lexington Healthcare of Elmhurst, IL.
  Mrs. Allen has lived a long and fruitful life; she is the last of 
twelve siblings, was married to her late husband Mr. John Allen for 68 
years and has one (1) daughter, three (3) grandchildren, six (6) great 
grandchildren, and three (3) great-great grandchildren.
  I also commend Lexington Healthcare of Elmhurst, IL for providing 
excellent care for individuals like Mrs. Allen so that they may be able 
to live and enjoy life even though they may have reached the age of 
100.
  I also commend and thank granddaughter Ms. Janice Meeks for bringing 
Mrs. Allen to our attention and I wish and hope that all grandparents 
would have grandchildren like her.
