  Ms. BROWN of Florida. Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the constituents of 
the Fifth Congressional District of Florida, I am pleased and honored 
to join the chorus of family, friends, loved ones and many well-wishers 
who join in praise and give thanks to Lee P. Evans, Sr., for his 
endearing legacy of love, kindness and generosity. Our lives have been 
made all the better and richer because of this kind spirit. We are 
forever grateful to our Heavenly Father for having put him in our midst 
on April 15, 1925, and for filling him with grace, compassion and love.
  These 90 years are marked by many milestones in his life, none more 
representative of the breadth and depth of his character than that of 
his humanity. We celebrate the richness of his life. We honor his 
strength of faith and his unwavering belief in the goodness of all. We 
come now to honor the man, for in him, and through him, the love of God 
flows, and warms us in his rich embrace. On this day, we say Happy 
Birthday Lee P. Evans, Sr., we love you, and may God continue to shower 
his blessings upon you and all that you love.
