     CELEBRATING 100TH BIRTHDAY OF DORA DUNCAN GILLENWATER BARTLEY

  (Mr. COMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise in celebration of a lifelong friend 
and neighbor, Mrs. Dora Duncan Gillenwater Bartley of my hometown of 
Tompkinsville, in the First District of Kentucky, who is celebrating 
her 100th birthday today.
  Dora Bartley's dedication to serving others rivals only her love for 
her husband, James Dale Bartley, and their seven children.
  Known throughout Monroe County for her abundant compassion and 
unwavering work ethic, she has not only cared for her family, but also 
welcomed abused and orphaned women and children into her home and 
treated them as her own.

  Throughout her life, she has been guided by her steadfast commitment 
to her faith and has worked tirelessly for the benefit of others, not 
only during her service as deputy jailer, but even after her retirement 
through her involvement in distributing commodities and serving her 
fellow senior citizens.
  I am deeply thankful for her friendship and guidance throughout my 
life, and I am honored to join with her friends and family, as well as 
all who have benefited from her generous spirit, in celebrating this 
milestone achievement. I wish Dora Bartley a happy 100th birthday and 
many more joyful years filled with blessings.
