  Mr. MALINOWSKI. Madam Speaker, Carolyn Maaitis was a beloved crossing 
guard from Basking Ridge, New Jersey. Carolyn passed away on May 17, 
2021, after a courageous battle with cancer.
  Carolyn was a cherished member of her community, who spent the last 
28 years ensuring the safety of Basking Ridge children as a crossing 
guard near the Liberty Corner School. Along with her husband, George, 
Carolyn was a source of love and support to the students and families 
who knew her.
  Carolyn prepared goody bags full of snacks and stickers on holidays, 
gave cards and small gifts on birthdays, and always had treats on hand 
for the neighborhood dogs. She never forgot to ask how a sick family 
member was doing and continually kept up to date with those around her.

  I join the Basking Ridge community in mourning her loss. Carolyn 
exemplified what it means to be an upstanding citizen and neighbor. Her 
presence will be missed by all.
