                  HONORING THE LIFE OF CARRIE PARSONS

  (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 Carrie 
Parsons. Carrie always made sure to live her life by her favorite 
saying: ``live, laugh, and love.''
  She enjoyed playing intramural softball and working at the staffing 
firm, Ajilon. Carrie recently got engaged in Hawaii to the love of her 
life, and they were excited to start their life together.
  She went to the Route 91 festival in Las Vegas on October 1 with four 
of her friends for a girls trip. Carrie always loved dancing and 
singing to her favorite country songs, and she made sure to ensure 
everyone was having a good time. Her friends remember her as being a 
``one in a million friend'' who was young, vibrant, and full of life.
  I would like to extend my condolences to Carrie Parsons' family and 
friends. Please know that the city of Las Vegas, the State of Nevada, 
and the whole country grieve with you.
