                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 2, 2019

  Mr. COLLINS of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
extraordinary life of Nicki Sanchez Meyer, who went to be with the Lord 
on June 13, 2019.
  Although Nicki had only called the City of Hartwell home for eight 
years, she was a pillar in the Hart County community. As Director of 
the Chamber of Commerce, Nicki spent five years working tirelessly to 
promote the businesses and amenities that make Hart County so 
attractive. Even after retiring from her position as director, Nicki 
continued to serve her community by working as an economic development 
specialist for the chamber.
  Nicki's attitude of service impacted her community well beyond her 
economic development work. She devoted her time to volunteering with 
countless groups, including the Hartwell Service League, Hart Habitat, 
Hartwell Downtown Development Authority, Northeast Georgia Council for 
Domestic Violence, and Have a Hope Ministries, just to name a few.
  What those around her recall the most was Nicki's love and passion 
for her community and improving it for future generations. She leaves 
behind a remarkable legacy of service, and her passing is felt deeply 
by the people of Hartwell, in addition to her beloved family and 
friends. On behalf of the Ninth District of Georgia, I want to thank 
Nicki for showing us all how to live--in service towards others.
