                       Tuesday, September 6, 2016

  Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of my friend, 
my constituent and an extraordinary woman, Roslyn (Roz) Grossman 
Morris, who died in Palo Alto, California, at the age of eighty-nine. 
Roz was born on April 15, 1927, in Oakland, California, and was one of 
two children of Bertha and Harry Grossman. She and her brother grew up 
in Napa where she attended high school, and then attended U.C. 
Berkeley.
  After meeting on a blind date, Roz and Merv Morris married in 1950. 
They welcomed three sons and a daughter into their family and Roz 
supported Merv as he built his successful retail business. She was 
active with the Peninsula Volunteers and a great supporter of the arts. 
She was a baseball fan, a Cal fan, and an elegant entertainer. She 
loved to travel, kept up with current events and attended the opera and 
the symphony. Most of all, she adored her family. Roz leaves her loving 
husband of sixty-six years, Mervin, and her four sons and daughters-in-
law, as well as her fourteen beloved grandchildren, five great 
grandchildren and her brother, Arnold Grossman.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask the entire House of Representatives to join me in 
extending our most sincere condolences to the entire Morris family. Roz 
Morris left an indelible mark on our community and she left our 
community and our country stronger and better. I think she was a 
national treasure
