                  HONORING THE LIFE OF MELISSA RAMIREZ

  (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 Melissa 
Ramirez. Melissa attended the Route 91 festival in Las Vegas on October 
1.
  Melissa loved her family more than anything in the world. She always 
made sure to take trips home over the weekends while she was studying 
at California State University to get her bachelor's degree in business 
administration.
  After she graduated from college in 2014, Melissa began working as a 
member specialist for an auto insurer, where she continued to work 
until her life tragically ended at the Route 91 festival.
  Melissa loved country music, but loved the Philadelphia Eagles more. 
She enjoyed watching sporting events and supporting each of her 
favorite teams.
  Melissa was known for being a hard worker, deeply loving her family, 
and making sure to always enjoy life.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to extend my condolences to Melissa 
Ramirez' family and friends. Please note that the city of Las Vegas, 
the State of Nevada, and the whole country grieve with you.
