                        Tuesday, April 14, 2015

  Mr. CLAY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a remarkable 
woman, a dedicated public servant who touched the lives of thousands of 
my constituents, and my life-long friend, the late Alyson Rose 
Singfield, who died on April 7, 2015 after a courageous battle with 
breast cancer at the much too young age of 57-years old.
  Alyson was the beloved mother of Hope Lynn Stevenson, Tommy Stevenson 
and Earl Johnson.
  She was a caring stepmother.
  She was the loving daughter of Rose and the late Waldorf Singfield.
  She was a proud grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin and friend to many.
  Her death was a huge loss for me, my staff, and for the St. Louis 
community that Alyson loved and served so well for many years.
  As my Community Outreach Director, Alyson brought her immense talent, 
creativity and dedication to work every day.
  She helped create and coordinate outstanding programs like my 
Congressional Youth Cabinet, the Congressional Art Competition, my 
Congressional Internship Program and many others.
  She was also my personal representative on the Regional Health 
Commission.
  Alyson also served on the Board of Directors of the Betty Jean Kerr 
People's Health Centers, one of our nation's most outstanding Federally 
Qualified Health Centers.
  My thoughts and prayers are with Alyson's wonderful family and her 
many friends at this painful hour.
  Alyson's legacy of love, service, and her courageous spirit will 
always remain in our hearts.
  She will never be forgotten.
  May God bless her with perfect peace and eternal rest, and may he 
bless all who mourn her with strength, faith and renewed determination 
to continue the good works that she established.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge Members of Congress to join me in honoring the 
memory of Alyson Rose Singfield for her legacy of duty, honor, 
integrity, compassion, faith and dedicated service to the citizens of 
Missouri's 1st Congressional District, the U.S. House of 
Representatives and the United States of America.
