                     Wednesday, September 21, 2016

  Mr. YODER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember the life of Co-
Pastor Linda Dannella Dupree of Kansas City, Kansas. Linda was a 
lifelong resident of KCK and an example to us all in the 3rd District 
of Kansas.
  Co-Pastor Dupree was born on February 4, 1955 in Kansas City, KS. She 
would live almost her whole life in Kansas, where she met her husband 
of 44 years, Alvin T. Dupree, Sr. Together, they raised a large family 
with many children, including many foster children, grandchildren, and 
great-grandchildren.
  As a missionary and Co-Pastor, she served her church and her 
community faithfully for many years. Co-Pastor Dupree wore many hats in 
her different roles in the church, but her goal was always to help 
others. Her decades of service impacted countless people in Kansas 
City.
  Our community is a better place because of Linda. She will be greatly 
missed by many, but her legacy lives on in her family and in the lives 
of those she helped. On behalf of this great body, I commemorate the 
well-lived life of Linda Dupree and extend my condolences to her entire 
family, who remain in my thoughts and prayers this week.
