                         HONORING LEAH LAUDICK

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. LUKE MESSER

                               of indiana

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 18, 2013

  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of a young 
constituent, Leah Elizabeth Laudick of Greensburg, Indiana.
  Leah was a beautiful young girl who enjoyed collecting rocks, chasing 
butterflies, and picking flowers. Leah loved being with her family 
whether it was playing basketball with her brothers or caring for her 
younger siblings. Leah's parents, Andy and Shelly Laudick, were both 
good friends of mine, and Leah's dad, Andy, was a fellow member of the 
Greensburg Pirates' varsity football team.
  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 Leah. 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.
  I ask the citizens of the 6th Congressional District to join me in 
keeping Andy and Shelly, their sons Brayden, Luke, Reid and Nicholas, 
daughters, Lauren and Adalyn and the entire extended Laudick family in 
our thoughts and prayers.
