                      Thursday, November 14, 2013

  Mr. COOK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the life of Sean 
Anthony Jacques of Big Bear Lake, California.
  Having lived in the area since the age of seven, Sean attended Big 
Bear Lake Elementary, Middle School, and High School. After his High 
School graduation, Sean joined the United States Navy and served as an 
FC2 for six years. Upon the completion of his service, Sean returned to 
Big Bear Lake to work for the Big Bear Mountain Resorts. He served 
there and dedicated fifteen years to the area.
  Sean is survived by his wife, Suzanne, his son Anthony, and daughter 
Alexandra, his parents, sister, and his many nieces and nephews.
  Mr. Speaker, I submit his favorite poem by Ralph Waldo Emerson. His 
wife Suzanne has dedicated this to him after his death.

                        (By Ralph Waldo Emerson)

       ``To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of 
     intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn 
     the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of 
     false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in 
     others; to give of one's self; to leave the world a bit 
     better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a 
     redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with 
     enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life 
     has breathed easier because you have lived--this is to have 
     succeeded.''
