                       Thursday December 13, 2018

  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today, on behalf of the entire 6th 
Congressional District of Indiana, to recognize Patti Coons for her 
contribution to our state.
  Patti is an institution in Indiana politics and has been helping 
promote Republican principles for decades. She is a retired senior 
executive for the Decorating Den Interiors franchise. It has been a 
pleasure to work with Patti, and our state is better off today because 
of her extraordinary leadership and service. I
  On a personal note, Patti is among my favorite people who I have met 
on this journey in Congress. She is smart, strong, honest and loyal. 
With Patti, you always know where you stand. She is a great friend to 
my wife Jennifer, and we both appreciate all that Patti has done to 
help Jennifer with the Congressional Club.
  I will be forever grateful for Patti's friendship and support of my 
work in Congress. I wish her continued success in all that God has 
planned for her family.
