                        Thursday, July 11, 2019

  Mrs. LURIA. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and recognize the 
late Mary Louise Gayle, who was senselessly murdered in the Virginia 
Beach Municipal Center shooting. Virginia Beach lost Mary Louise Gayle 
far too soon.
  Mary Louise Gayle, also known as Mary Lou, worked as a right-of-way 
agent for the Department of Public Works for the City of Virginia Beach 
for 24 years. Friends described Mary Lou as happy, loving, and a good 
person. She was a dedicated mother and grandmother. Mary Lou's life of 
hard work and service to the community, as well as her cheerful 
attitude, will forever be remembered.
  Mary Lou will be missed by all her loved ones. Hampton Roads 
significantly benefited from her presence; she made our community a 
better place. Today we remember and honor her life.
