                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 12, 2021

  Mr. FITZGERALD. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory and 
celebrate the life of Mrs. Michelle Sanford, a resident of Pewaukee, 
Wisconsin who passed away at the age of 52 on April 19, 2021 after a 
courageous battle with cancer.
  Michelle will be remembered for her spirited and uplifting energy 
that she brought into every corner of her life. To her colleagues at 
the Association of Equipment Manufacturers, where she worked for more 
than 20 years, Michelle's infectious laughter and smile will be missed. 
As will her energy that she brought to every project no matter how big 
or small, or close or far. Michelle started her career as a secretary 
at AEM, and quickly grew to become an integral leader of the AEM 
exhibitions and operations team. She oversaw operations for AEM's many 
trade shows, and she traveled the globe to support international 
exhibitions in China, India, and Russia, among other places.
  Michelle enjoyed her time with family and giving back to her 
community. She volunteered at many organizations but notably 
volunteered with the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Eastern 
Wisconsin. Michelle served on their board and as a direct volunteer.
  On behalf of Wisconsin's 5th Congressional District, it is my 
privilege to celebrate the life and legacy of Michelle Sanford for her 
outstanding contributions to our community. I offer my heartfelt 
condolences to Michelle's family, including her loving husband Donald, 
her mother Claire, and her many nieces, nephews, cousins, relatives, 
and friends she is survived by
