                         Monday, July 11, 2011

  Mr. MILLER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
extraordinary life of Mrs. Nadine Driskell McCaw of Century, Florida 
who passed away on July 7, 2011. Nadine was a tremendous public servant 
committed to helping others, and I am humbled to commemorate her life.
  Born 57 years ago, Nadine is a lifelong Century resident and 
graduated from Century High School in 1972. She worked at the Century 
Branch Library, and her life's passion was service to others. As a 
Century Town Council Member, Nadine worked to better the lives of those 
in her community. She was an avid supporter of the American Cancer 
Society's Relay for Life and numerous other causes. Nadine and her 
husband Eddie were married for more than 39 years.
  Four years ago, Nadine was diagnosed with invasive cancer and given 
six months to live by doctors. She survived and went on to continue her 
service as Councilwoman and active community member. Her smile touched 
all of those who had the pleasure of her company, and her service to 
the Town of Century will not be forgotten. Nadine was a dedicated, 
courageous, and loving person, and it is with a heavy heart that we 
acknowledge her passing to be in God's hands.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the United States Congress, I am privileged 
to honor the life of Nadine McCaw. My wife Vicki and I offer our 
prayers for her husband, Eddie, her children, Juanita Watson and 
Felicia Jones, eight grandchildren, and entire extended family. She 
will be missed by all of us.
