                   HONORING THE LIFE OF FREDI SIMPSON

  (Mr. NEWHOUSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. NEWHOUSE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life, service, 
and spirit of my friend, Fredi Simpson. Fredi was well known and 
admired in central Washington. She was filled with passion and 
dedicated her time to improving her community and lending a helping 
hand to whomever was in need. She was a dear friend of mine, and I will 
miss her very much.
  Dedicated to the conservative cause, Fredi's engagement in politics 
was inspiring to everyone around her. She served as a mentor to young 
people and encouraged them to get involved at the local, State, and 
national levels.
  As national committeewoman, she represented Washington State with 
infectious enthusiasm and deep integrity. She traveled across our great 
State and the entire country leaving a positive impression on everyone 
she met.
  So, today, I reflect on my own joyful memories with Fredi, and I find 
peace in knowing she is at rest and reunited with God.
  My prayers go out for her husband Bruce, her son Kane, and all her 
loved ones, and I urge my colleagues to join me in celebrating her 
wonderful life.
  Fredi, we will miss you.
