                         Monday, June 13, 2011

  Mr. FARR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Jennefer 
Lloyd Santee Wineman. Jennefer was a gracious, loving and strikingly 
beautiful woman who generously gave her time and talents in an effort 
to better the lives of those around her whom she loved. She passed away 
on November 26, 2010.
  Jennefer was born on May 15, 1931 in Montreal Canada, but soon moved 
to Carmel, California where she later became a proud U.S. citizen. In 
the beautiful backdrop of cypress trees and glowing sunsets, Jennefer 
flourished and graduated from Carmel High School in 1949 earning the 
``Gold C'' award, which was given to an outstanding scholastic female 
student. It was during my years at Carmel High School that I really 
became close with Jennefer, through her younger sister Cindy. Following 
Carmel High, Jennefer attended Stanford University where she met 
Nathaniel Baylis and they soon were married. Jennefer and ``Nat'' were 
blessed with two wonderful sons, Owen and Lloyd. Those closest to her 
have said that her most natural and intuitive gift was that of being a 
wonderful, caring mother.
  In addition to being a loving wife and mother, Jennefer helped 
pioneer a revolutionary form of education. She became a teacher at the 
Charles Armstrong School for the dyslexic, a school which specifically 
caters to the needs of children who require a different method of 
teaching. Education became Jennefer's passion and led her to play a 
pivotal role in the establishment of Chartwell School in Carmel. 
Through her dedication to improving the lives of her students and their 
families, Jennefer molded Chartwell school into one of the premier 
special education institutions. After completing her long held dream of 
providing Chartwell with its own independent campus, families from 
across America began to relocate to the Central Coast just to have 
their

children attend. Chartwell graduates have gone on to very successful 
careers in many fields, adding to the strength of our country. As 
Margaret Mead said, ``never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, 
committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing 
that ever does''. Jennefer and the Chartwell School did change the 
worlds of many young people for the better.
  Not only a brilliant educator, Jennefer was the guiding light for the 
Lloyd family, a family which will be celebrating the anniversary of its 
100th year in Carmel this coming July. She loved her family and 
cherished her family's history. She set to work tracing her lineage and 
eventually joined the Daughters of the Revolution, in which her 
membership remained an integral part of her life. She challenged her 
family just as she did her students, to overstep the insurmountable and 
to take what you want from life with tenacity; she was the catalyst 
that lit the fire.
  Jennefer's bright smile and positive outlook helped her see the good 
in everyone around her and she had the ability to always bring the best 
qualities of a person to light. Her friends and family have many 
stories of how Jennefer encouraged them to try again, to gain new 
skills and reinvent themselves. As a friend of Jennefer's, I truly 
believe the she took to heart the song, ``Over the Rainbow.'' She 
believed ``the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.''
  Christmas was Jennefer's favorite holiday because it was a time for 
the entire family to be together and a special time to give thanks for 
the wonderful things in life. If you were to ask her what she wanted 
for Christmas, the answer was always the same, ``peace on earth''.
  Mr. Speaker, Jennefer Lloyd Santee Wineman always put others before 
herself and dedicated her life to serving her community and family. She 
was so beautiful, caring and remarkable and I know that one day, on the 
other side of the rainbow, where skies are blue, and where troubles 
melt like lemon drops, that is where I'll find her.
