                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. LUKE MESSER

                               of indiana

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, March 19, 2013

  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of a young 
constituent, Jacob Russell Vogel of Versailles, Indiana.
  Jacob attended South Ripley High School and actively participated in 
the FFA and as a member of the St. Charles Catholic Church in Milan. He 
also attended the Southeastern Career Center for emergency services and 
served as a cadet with the Friendship Fire Department.
  We mourn a life that ended too soon and pray for understanding and 
comfort for family members and those in our community who knew and 
loved Jacob. While in times of turmoil we struggle to understand the 
unexplainable, may we find peace and joy in our religious faith and the 
memories of time shared with those we love.
  Jacob will be forever remembered as a friend of his community. I ask 
the citizens of the 6th Congressional District to join me in keeping 
his parents, Brian and Ann Sieverding Vogel, siblings, Matthew, Luke, 
and Jessica, and the entire extended Vogel family in our thoughts and 
prayers.

                          ____________________
