                      IN REMEMBRANCE OF HELEN MOSS

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. MARCY KAPTUR

                      Wednesday, November 20, 2013

  Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker. I rise today to pay tribute to the life of 
Helen Moss, who passed from this life on Saturday, November 9, 2013. 
Helen Moss was an indefatigable and socially minded community leader on 
many fronts. The living partnership she and her husband, Richard, 
formed were constant forces for community betterment across the 
Cleveland region.
  Dedicated to success and committed to the pursuit of innovative 
research, Helen created the Helen Moss Cancer Research Foundation in 
2000. The purpose of the foundation is to encourage and support 
education in Integrative Medicine and Comprehensive Cancer Care in 
Northeastern Ohio. She chose to turn her final heroic struggle into 
continuing good for her community: in 2012, she helped to establish the 
Parker Hannifin/Helen Moss Cancer Research Foundation Professorship in 
Integrative Oncology at Case Western Reserve University School of 
Medicine.
  In addition to her support of health research, Helen played an active 
role in the local community. She was elected as a councilwoman for the 
Village of Bratenahl in 2001. Additionally, she was selected to be the 
President of the Ohio Ballet in Akron in 1982 and was appointed to the 
Ohio Arts Council in 1986. An elegant woman, strong, and vitally 
engaged citizen, she held a precious appreciation for beauty--in the 
arts, in the built environment, in literature and music. Helen was 
inducted into the Ohio Women's Hall of Fame in 2009.
  Helen Moss leaves to cherish her life and legacy her husband Richard 
Fleischman, their four children, grandchildren and extended family and 
friends. We join them in honoring the life and service of an 
exceptional woman.
