  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the 100th 
birthday of Linnie Leona Gatewood Gallups.
  Leona was born on October 2, 1918. On August 8, 1937, she married 
Samuel Matthew Gallups.
  Leona was a homemaker and cared for children, including her 
grandchildren and great-grandchildren, during the work day. She served 
as a foster parent and kept the nursery at Ladonia Baptist Church where 
she has been a member since 1961.
  After her husband had a massive stroke, she took care of him for 15 
years.
  Leona loves gardening, flowers and arts and crafts. She also loves to 
bake cakes for others. Leona is known around town for her crafts. She 
spends a lot of time watching Fox News and is very fond of President 
Trump.
  Her friends and family are surprising her with a birthday party on 
Sunday, September 30th at her home in Phenix City, Alabama.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in wishing Leona a very happy 100th 
birthday.

                          ____________________
