                          HON. PATRICK MEEHAN

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 2, 2015

  Mr. MEEHAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of Carly 
Imbierowicz and Daulton Pointek. Carly and Daulton were two star 
students at Octorara High School in Chester County, loved and admired 
by their entire school community. They were the victims of carbon 
monoxide poisoning. A faulty automobile exhaust pipe allowed the deadly 
gas to leak into their car. When they were found, the car keys were 
still in the ignition.
   It is important that we spread awareness of this silent killer. The 
danger of carbon monoxide poisoning is present whenever you combine 
burning fuel and enclosed spaces, from stoves to gas-powered water 
heaters and furnaces. These dangers increase in the colder months.
   The Imbierowicz and Pointek families have been working to educate 
our community on these dangers and I admire their dedication to this 
mission. Their efforts to raise awareness about this issue will save 
lives and protect more families from having to cope with such terrible 
tragedies.
