                  HONORING THE LIFE OF KELSEY MEADOWS

  (Mr. KIHUEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KIHUEN. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to remember the life of Kelsey 
Meadows. Kelsey attended the Route 91 festival in Las Vegas on October 
1.
  Kelsey was known by her parents as a miracle child. She went into 
heart failure at 6 weeks old, but survived. Growing up, Kelsey was a 
tomboy who chose jeans, boots, fishing, and hunting over everything 
else.
  She was a gifted teacher who demonstrated a skill and passion for her 
career. Kelsey had a sweet spirit and a love for children. She loved 
country music and was a Denver Broncos fan. Her friends and family will 
never forget the big smile she always had on her face.
  I would like to extend my condolences to Kelsey Meadows' family and 
friends. Please know that the city of Las Vegas, the State of Nevada, 
and the whole country grieve with you.
