                         Friday, July 30, 2010

  Mr. KLEIN of Florida. Madam Speaker, we rise today to honor the life 
and memory of an extraordinary member of our South Florida community.
  Ceil Steinberg passed away this week at the age of 82, leaving behind 
a legacy of service and strength.
  Throughout Ceil's remarkable life, she maintained a steadfast 
commitment to serving our Nation's veterans. She served as President of 
the Ladies National Auxiliary of the Jewish War Veterans, and continued 
to be active in our local veterans community into her 80s.
  Ceil's two wonderful daughters, Circuit Court Judge Debra Nelson and 
her sister Anita Kahn, who has taught in South Florida public schools 
for over 30 years, blessed their mom with 4 grandchildren and 4 great-
grandchildren, who Ceil adored.
  When we think of public service, we think of Ceil, and her 
determination to give back, especially to those who have served our 
Nation in uniform.
  We want to express our deep personal condolences to all of Ceil's 
family, and her beloved partner Bill Kling, who is also a fixture in 
our local veterans' community.
  We will miss seeing Ceil, but the light of her legacy will continue 
to burn brightly well into the future.
