                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 11, 2017

  Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a special person in my 
district, Teresa Reynoso de Gonzalez.
  Mrs. Reynoso de Gonzalez and her family have contributed enormously 
to our community through their efforts in founding and expanding the 
Northgate Gonzalez markets in California. This month, Mrs. Reynoso de 
Gonzalez celebrates her 90th birthday.
  Mrs. Reynoso de Gonzalez was born in Jalostotitlan, Jalisco Mexico on 
July 2, 1927 and emigrated to the United States in 1976, where she has 
served as a loving figure and role model to our community as the co-
owner of Northgate Market.
  Her leadership of Northgate Market has allowed her family to serve 
the larger Latino population of Southern California, providing 
affordable and quality foods and services at over thirty locations and 
offering a taste of home for the many families that visit Northgate 
Market with Latino products, culture, and language.
  Mrs. Reynoso de Gonzalez and her family's philanthropic efforts 
extend even further through the Gonzalez Reynoso Family Foundation, 
which supports neighborhood schools, sports teams, and other events. 
They have also been instrumental in uplifting the hard-working 
immigrant community and fostering invaluable memories, such as 
organizing Christmas gifts for children and hosting reunion meals for 
local families.
  I want to thank Mrs. Reynoso de Gonzalez for the love she has offered 
so freely. Today, I join my district in recognizing the impact Mrs. 
Reynoso de Gonzalez has made on the lives she has touched, and wish her 
a very happy and blessed 90th birthday.
