  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Mr. Speaker,
  Whereas, our lives have been touched by the life of this one woman . 
. . who has given of herself in order for others to stand; and
  Whereas, Mrs. Adele Wilson's work is present not only in the city of 
New Orleans, but around the nation for all to see, being an usher, 
missionary and friend; and
  Whereas, this giant of a woman gave so much to her family, her 
community and her church; and
  Whereas, this remarkable woman gave of herself, her time, her talent 
and her life; she never asked for fame or fortune to uplift those in 
need, she just wanted to do what was right and she not only talked the 
talk, she walked the walk for others to get involved in matters of the 
community; and
  Whereas, Mrs. Adele Wilson led by doing, she was a warrior for 
education, a beacon of light for all people, a wife, a mother, a 
daughter, a friend; she was a Proverbs 31 woman, our matriarch, a woman 
of great integrity who remained true to the uplifting of our community 
until her end; and
  Whereas, the U.S. Representative of the Fourth District of Georgia 
has set aside this day to bestow an honorable mention and recognition 
on Mrs. Adele Wilson for her leadership, friendship and service to all 
of the citizens of the United States of America; a citizen of great 
worth and so noted distinction;
  Now Therefore, I, Henry C. ``Hank'' Johnson, Jr. do hereby attest to 
the 112th Congress that Mrs. Adele Wilson of New Orleans, Louisiana is 
deemed worthy and deserving of this ``Congressional Honorable 
Mention.''
  Mrs. Adele Wilson,
  U.S. Citizen of Distinction
  in the 4th Congressional District.
  Proclaimed, this 11th day of June, 2011.
