                   HONORING THE LIFE OF LaQUITA BROWN

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ELAINE G. LURIA

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 16, 2019

  Mrs. LURIA. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and recognize the 
late LaQuita Brown, who was senselessly murdered in the Virginia Beach 
Municipal Center shooting. Virginia Beach lost LaQuita far too soon.
  LaQuita was a faithful employee and served the Department of Public 
Works for the City of Virginia Beach for nearly five years. Friends 
described LaQuita as lighting up a room with her presence. LaQuita 
spent time traveling to New York City, Europe, and West Africa. 
LaQuita's life of hard work and service to the community, as well as 
her bright spirit, will forever be remembered.
  LaQuita 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.
