              TRIBUTE TO LYNETTE ELIZABETH HOFFMAN MILLER

  Mr. PENCE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to mourn the loss of a dear 
friend to the community of Sellersburg, Indiana.
  Lynette Elizabeth Hoffman-Miller was a devoted wife, loving mother, 
and courageous warrior in her battle against leukemia. Though the pain 
of her passing is deeply felt, we will continue to be inspired by the 
life she led.
  Lynette was born on March 20, 1972 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to 
Bill and Elizabeth Hoffman. A graduate of Mayfield High School in Las 
Cruces, Lynette went on to receive her bachelor's degree from New 
Mexico State University.
  Lynette later moved to Sellersburg, Indiana, where she would become 
an active leader and vital asset to the Hoosier state. She served as 
the first Vice President of the Indiana Federation of Republican Women, 
where she excelled in her mission to support Republican principles and 
promote community service.
  A longtime advocate of healthy living, Lynette spent many hours 
promoting nutrition, exercise, and complementary medicine on her blog. 
She was very fond of time spent with her mother and sister attending 
wellness conventions.
  Her strong faith helped her and her family through her difficult 
battle against leukemia. Lynette served on the board of directors of 
St. Joe on the Hill Catholic Church in Sellersburg. She also taught 
Sunday school and relished time spent with her family and friends.
  One of Lynette's favorite hobbies was to create unique and thoughtful 
greeting cards and stamps for her friends and loved ones. She was an 
avid fan of singer Toby Keith and loved the color green.
  We have lost an important figure in the Sellersburg community, but I 
know that Lynette's legacy will not soon be forgotten. Let us keep her 
cherished family and friends in our prayers during this difficult time, 
especially her husband Chuck Miller, daughter Cambrelyn, parents Bill 
and Elizabeth Hoffman, sister Trinette (Jason) Dixon, paternal 
grandmother Ann Hoffman, and father and mother-in-law Dr. Robert and 
Lois Miller.
  May they find comfort in the Old Book, which tells us that ``Because 
of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never 
fail. They are new every morning.''
