     REMEMBERING BELOVED BASKING RIDGE, NEW JERSEY, CROSSING GUARD

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. TOM MALINOWSKI

                             of NEW JERSEY

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, June 11, 2021

  Mr. MALINOWSKI. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Carolyn 
Masaitis, a beloved crossing guard from Basking Ridge, New Jersey. 
Carolyn passed away on May 17th, 2020, 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 Comer 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.
