                     Wednesday, September 15, 2010

  Mr. KUCINICH. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor and remembrance of 
Carole A. Sliwa who lived her life with great energy, joy and with love 
for her family, friends and community.
  Mrs. Sliwa was the devoted wife of Theodore ``Ted'' Sliwa for 56 
years. Since childhood, her faith and her family served as her strength 
and her foundation. She remained very close to her extended family 
members, especially her brother Daniel and his wife, Patty; her sister, 
the late Patricia, and her brother-in-law, Donald. In addition, Mrs. 
Sliwa was a cherished friend to many people throughout the Greater 
Cleveland community.
  Mrs. Sliwa's enthusiasm for local arts programs never wavered, and 
she shared her artistic gifts with many. Her beautiful paintings are 
displayed in the homes of numerous friends and relatives. Mrs. Sliwa's 
lifelong commitment to and passion for the arts is also reflected in 
her membership and leadership in several community art centers, 
including the Ohio Artist Color Society, the Friendship Center of Bay 
Village, the Lakewood Art League, and the Art Mart of Brecksville.
  Madam Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honor and remembrance 
of Mrs. Carole A. Sliwa. I offer my condolences to her devoted husband 
and to her entire family and many friends. Mrs. Sliwa lived her life 
with great joy and love. Her devotion to family and friends, and her 
passion for the arts, will be treasured and remembered always.
