  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, on October 18, 2014 a community in my 
district teamed up to show that together we can overcome heartbreak.
  Over 100 volunteers, local businesses and community leaders worked to 
complete Bobby's Playground--a new park area at the Lower Bucks Family 
YMCA's Holland Campground. The playground is named in honor of Robert 
Edward Osterhout IV of Holland who tragically passed away at just 14 
months.
  The project, a Kaboom Playground, was completed by the hands of 
volunteers who dedicated their time and talents to remember the life of 
Bobby and ensure that generations of kids to come would have a safe 
place to play, laugh and learn.
  It was a pleasure to participate in the event and offer a few words 
about the amazing work being done in my district by those I represent.
  While Bobby's passing is a tragedy, the completion of this playground 
serves both as a reminder of his memory and a point of community pride.
