                          HONORING ARIEL GIBBS

  (Mr. ESPAILLAT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ESPAILLAT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the life and 
memory of Ariel Gibbs whom we lost 5 years ago.
  Ariel was a beloved neighbor and friend to so many members of our 
East Harlem community. She loved working with seniors and children and 
helping improve the lives of those around her. She was a direct care 
worker at United Cerebral Palsy and often volunteered at after-school 
programs in her community.
  Ariel will continue to be remembered as a strong, wise leader and a 
dedicated friend and daughter, as well as a loving mother. Her two 
energetic and inquisitive sons, now 6 and 7 years old, as well as her 
many friends and family members--including her dynamic dad, Eddie 
Gibbs, a leader in East Harlem--will always hold her in their hearts.
