                       Thursday, December 7, 2017

  Mrs. WALORSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate William and 
Marilyn Wilkinson of South Bend, Indiana, on celebrating 60 years of 
marriage.
  William and Marilyn met in college and married in 1957. Reaching this 
milestone speaks volumes about the love and compassion they share for 
one another and the family they built together.
  For nearly five decades, the Wilkinsons have called northern Indiana 
home. Their life revolves around faith, love, and family, and over the 
years they have made lasting contributions to our Hoosier community. 
William and Marilyn have not only spent their lives giving back to 
those in need, they have remained active in ensuring future generations 
have a bright future in this country.
  In 1987, this passion to help others drove William and his son Jay to 
create PeopleLink, a staffing company in Mishawaka. The success of this 
family business is a reflection of the strength of William and 
Marilyn's partnership and their determination to achieve the American 
Dream.
  They have instilled in their two children, five grandchildren, and 
four great-grandchildren the ideals of courage, kindness, 
determination, and service. Today is a celebration not only of their 
love, but also of the incredible legacy they have created.
  It is truly an honor to represent such kindhearted, hardworking 
Hoosiers who inspire us all to live more meaningful lives and make a 
positive difference in the world around us.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of 2nd District Hoosiers, I wish to extend my 
heartfelt congratulations to William and Marilyn Wilkinson on their 
anniversary, and I join their family in celebrating the occasion.
