                      Thursday, November 13, 2014

  Mr. RYAN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember and honor the 
life of a dear lady in our district, Ms. Verleigh M. Bloom, 83, who 
passed away peacefully on Friday, August 29th.
   Verleigh was a genuinely thoughtful and loving mother, grandmother, 
and great grandmother, who held onto her family very dearly. Verleigh 
cherished the time spent with her loved ones, and considered her family 
one of her greatest joys and accomplishments.
   Preceded in death by parents, James and Verleigh Darnell, Verleigh 
will continue to live on through the many lives she has touched. 
Verleigh is survived by her daughter Verleigh I. Gray of Niles, OH; two 
sons, James C. Bloom of Leavittsburg, OH and Ted E. Bloom of Howland, 
OH; nine grandchildren and five great grandchildren. It gives me great 
pride to honor the life of Verleigh M. Bloom. I am deeply saddened and 
I extend my condolences to her entire family. Her loving character and 
considerate nature will be immeasurably missed. Our community is a much 
better place because of Verleigh's loving approach to life.
