                        Friday, October 4, 2019

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to posthumously recognize 
and honor Mary (Mo) Lukens, a great Coloradan and wife, mother and 
grandmother.
  Mo was a lifelong resident of Colorado and a proud resident of 
Golden. For over 20 years she dedicated her time to the Golden 
community serving many different organizations including the Golden 
Rotary Club, Applewood, Denver, Golden and West Jefferson County 
Chambers of Commerce and others. Additionally, she ran a successful 
business, Mo's Family Portraits, which helped capture many wonderful 
memories for families in Jefferson County and across Colorado.
  Mo was also very involved with the Cancer Action Network and served 
as the 7th Congressional District Ambassador. She was a tireless 
advocate for cancer research and funding. For the last decade, she 
chaired and co-chaired the Relay for Life for the American Cancer 
Society to honor those battling cancer, including her own struggle as 
well as that of her mother and grandmother.
  I was privileged to know Mo for many years, and her vibrance and good 
work in our community will never be forgotten. Her passion for her 
community, her good nature and sense of humor was a true delight. On 
behalf of the people of Jefferson County and Colorado, I honor Mary 
(Mo) Lukens for a life well-lived and extend my deepest appreciation 
for her contribution to our community.
