                  HONORING THE LIFE OF TARA ROE SMITH

  (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 Tara 
Roe Smith. Tara attended the Route 91 festival in Las Vegas on October 
1. She lived in Okotoks, Alberta, Canada, where she was a wonderful 
mother to her two kids, Lennon and Louis, and was a loving wife to her 
husband Zach.
  Tara was a hard worker who modeled with Sophia Models International, 
worked as an educational assistant with children with autism, and was 
about to be promoted to be a manager at a restaurant where she was a 
waitress.
  Tara was very active and loved dancing, swimming, and being at her 
favorite summer spot, Clear Lake. Going to the Route 91 festival was an 
annual tradition for Tara and her husband. They would be there every 
year to celebrate their anniversary.
  Tara was dedicated to her community, and if she had survived, her 
husband has no doubt that she would have done everything she could to 
help those who were victims of the Las Vegas shooting.
  She was a very caring spirit who greeted everyone with a friendly 
face. I would like to extend my condolences to Tara Roe Smith's family 
and friends. Please know that the city of Las Vegas, the State of 
Nevada, and the whole country grieve with you.
