                        RECOGNIZING SHIRLEY LOVE

  (Mrs. MILLER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mrs. MILLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize my friend and 
former colleague Mr. Shirley Love, who passed away on July 17, 2020.
  Born in May 1933 to Earl and Winona Love, Shirley was named after the 
popular West Virginia newspaper columnist, Shirley Donnelly. 
Unbeknownst at the time, he was also destined for media greatness.
  For 45 years, Shirley worked at WOAY-TV station entertaining and 
informing many. He is known for becoming one of southern West 
Virginia's first nightly TV news anchors, and with his terrific voice, 
Shirley was a welcomed radio presence in households throughout the 
region, ultimately landing him in the West Virginia Broadcasting Hall 
of Fame.
  After retiring from WOAY, he selflessly represented Fayette County in 
the State legislature for 16 years. Appointed by Governor Caperton to 
the senate, Shirley eventually moved to the house of delegates, where I 
had the honor to work alongside him.
  Shirley constantly lived up to his reputation of integrity and 
honesty. He will always be remembered by his family, friends, and 
countless people he impacted throughout his life.
  I send my sincerest condolences to his wife, Audrey, his children, 
and his grandchildren.
  May God bless Shirley Love.
