                        Wednesday, June 3, 2015

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, it is with a heavy heart that I rise today to 
pay my respects to Dr. Phil Lineberger. He was a noble, God-fearing man 
who left us too soon.
  Pastor Phil served as pastor of Sugar Land Baptist Church since 
November 1995 and was the senior pastor until the time of his death. 
Pastor Phil mentored many people during his forty-five years as a 
pastor and was even coined ``the real Dr. Phil'' by members of his 
congregation for how readily he nurtured others through good and bad 
times. Pastor Phil touched many people throughout his life and always 
gave of himself unconditionally in service of others.
  I extend my deepest condolences to Phil's wife, Brenda, his three 
daughters, and ten beautiful grandchildren. Our prayers are with each 
of you during this unimaginable grief. Your husband, father, and 
grandfather was

loved by many. I know that your family at Sugar Land Baptist Church is 
lifting you up in prayers and surrounding you with love. Again, the 
folks from the Twenty Second Congressional District are very sorry for 
your loss. We lost Phil too soon, and he will be missed.
