             HONORING THE LIFE OF PATRICIA ``PATI'' MESTAS

  (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 
Patricia ``Pati'' Mestas.
  Pati was a good mother to her three children, eight grandchildren, 
and one great-grandchild.
  Patricia was a retired gas station and convenience store worker who 
loved country music and traveling. Patricia would go to almost every 
country show within driving distance of her house. One of her favorite 
artists was Jason Aldean, and she was excited to see him perform at the 
Route 91 festival on October 1 in Las Vegas.
  Patricia loved to laugh and smile. She had a fun-loving spirit and 
was young at heart. Patricia is remembered for being outgoing, likable, 
and being sensitive to other people's concerns and problems.
  I would like to extend my condolences to Patricia Mestas' family and 
friends. Please know that the city of Las Vegas, the State of Nevada, 
and the whole country grieve with you.
