Susan Burtnette of

[[Page E572]]

Woodridge, Illinois, who passed away Sunday morning after an 
abbreviated battle with lung cancer.
  Susan was a remarkable member of the Woodridge community, where she 
lived for 35 years. Her love for her community was evident in the 
passion and dedication she had for leaving this world a better place. 
In addition to being elected to the position of Village Trustee earlier 
this month, Susan was an active member of the League of Women Voters, 
Woodridge Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Woodridge Jubilee 
Committee.
  Her memory lives on through her three children Brad, Scott, and 
Kristina, and her grandchildren Riley, Reese, Carson and Landon, and 
the countless lives she touched. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to 
join me in remembering Susan Burtnette. She will be deeply missed.
