  Mr. JONES. Mr. Speaker, two years ago I had the privilege to be on 
the House floor to bring tribute to a wonderful woman, Mrs. Juanita 
Worsley Williams, to acknowledge and celebrate her 98th birthday. I 
come again today to honor this lady on her 100th birthday on May 18, 
2012.
  Obviously, Mr. Speaker, there are many, many older Americans to 
celebrate, but this lady is special to me because she was with her 
husband, Dr. Williams, when he delivered me 69 years ago.
  My father, the late Congressman Walter Jones, Sr., and my mother were 
very close with Mrs. Williams and her husband. My sister

and I were close friends with the Williams children as we grew up. In a 
small town like Farmville, NC, everyone knows each other and my unique 
relationship with the Williams family has always been very special to 
me.
  On the 19th of May, Mrs. Williams' family and friends will attend her 
birthday celebration. It will be a celebration of the 100 years of a 
lady with a strong religious faith who loves her family and community.
  What Juanita Williams has given to the Town of Farmville is hard to 
measure, but her deeds speak for themselves: church service, Girl 
Scouts, Daughters of the American Revolution, Children of the American 
Revolution, Meals on Wheels, and much more.
  This is a lady who gives more than she receives. Thank God for Mrs. 
Juanita Williams and may He continue to bless her, her family and these 
United States.
