                  HONORING THE MEMORY OF CALEB SCHWAB

  (Mr. YODER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. YODER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with a heavy heart. I would like 
to honor the memory of Caleb Schwab, who tragically died last month in 
an accident at a water park in my district. Just 10 years old, Caleb 
was the amazing son of my good friends Michele and Scott Schwab, whom I 
have known for years, and Scott and I served together in the Kansas 
Legislature.
  Words cannot express how heartbroken I am for them and their boys in 
this time of devastation. There may be no greater loss in life than a 
parent losing a child. Children are supposed to bury their parents, and 
no parent should ever have to bury their own child.
  Caleb will always be remembered for his love of sports, kindness 
toward others, and the joy he received from his deep love of the Lord. 
His parents and brothers will always remember the same question that 
came out of Caleb's mouth every day: ``Can I go out and play?''
  Caleb, we will love life to the fullest in your memory, and we know 
you are playing in heaven.
  Mr. Speaker, may God bless Scott, Michele, and their family, and may 
everyone please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
