  Mr. HASTINGS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the life and 
legacy of Mrs. Wayedean Beatrice McGraw of Broward County, Florida, who 
sadly passed away on Friday, January 1, 2016 at age 73. Wayedean was 
born in Leeds, Alabama where she attended Moton High School. She later 
moved to Florida where she worked providing private home health care in 
various locations throughout Broward County. She worshipped at Bethel 
Baptist and Evergreen Missionary Baptist Church, now known as Greater 
Providence Baptist Church.
  Wayedean is survived by her three loving children, Bruce, Annette and 
Ronald; seven wonderful grandchildren: Cornelius Sr., Valencia, Antwon 
Sr., Calvin Sr., Marquis, Brittany and Lauren; ten great grandchildren: 
Roy, Cornelius Jr., D'Naisah, Kristian, Antwon Jr., A'Niyah, Nakyla, 
Calonni, Calvin Jr., and Makai; one sister, Nancy of Oakland Park, 
Florida; and many loving nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. 
Her mother, Arlene, and four siblings: Jean, Mary, Paul and Charles all 
preceded her in death.
  Mr. Speaker, I am truly honored to celebrate the incredible life of 
Mrs. Wayedean Beatrice McGraw, and express my deepest condolences to 
her family. I know that her spirit, loving memory, and legacy will 
always live on.
