                       Monday, September 9, 2019

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I ask for the House's attention 
to recognize the life of Ramiah Elizabeth Leonard.
  Ramiah was born on February 16, 2009 to Eugene and Rasheda Leonard in 
Jacksonville, Alabama. They chose a very special name for their special 
delivery who was born on her mother's birthday. Her godparents, Sherman 
and Latoya Young, Jr., were named at her birth.
  Princess Ramiah was a sassy toddler and grew into an active child. 
She loved music, singing and dancing. She could always be found adorned 
in the latest fashions including glitter lip gloss.
  She attended DeArmanville Elementary School and Oxford Elementary 
School. She was in fifth grade at C.E. Hanna Elementary School and a 
proud member of the Jacket Singing Sensations. She also attended the 
TLC Camp Life Enrichment After School program.
  Ramiah accepted Christ at the age of eight under the leadership of 
her father. She loved Jesus Christ and was an active member of The Life 
Center Church.
  On August 30, 2019 at 8:08 am, Ramiah passed away exchanging her 
princess crown for a set of wings. Her legacy will live on through her 
parents.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in remembering the life of Ramiah 
Elizabeth.
