                       REMEMBERING CATHY MARCHEL

  (Mr. WILLIAMS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. WILLIAMS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and remember one of 
Texas' finest servants, Cathy Marchel.
  Cathy went home to be with the Lord in January after serving our 
Cleburne community for almost two decades with strength, grace, and 
unmatched character. She took all of the gifts she possessed and used 
them in powerful ways to improve her world and those around her.
  She radiated joy with her beaming smile and gracious attitude. She 
was a leader and a fighter and someone we all looked up to for 
guidance. No one worked harder for their constituents than she did, and 
her impact will be felt for decades to come.
  Our community has lost a selfless, devoted servant, and many of us 
have lost a dear friend. There is most certainly a void in her absence, 
but we find hope in the promise that she is now with our savior, and we 
look forward to the day when we all will be reunited.
  May God bless the entire Cleburne community and the Marchel family.
  In God we trust.
