REMEMBERING LIVES LOST IN BOULDER, COLORADO, MASS SHOOTING
(Mr. NEGUSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. NEGUSE. Mr. Speaker, 6 months ago today, we experienced a tragedy
in my community of Boulder, Colorado.
On a Monday afternoon in March, 10 lives were lost at our local King
Soopers as a gunman opened fire on customers and employees.
Ten lives were taken far too soon--daughters, sons, neighbors,
spouses, coworkers, community members, each of whom left a profound
impact on our community.
While the national news may have moved on, for our community, for the
families, friends, and neighbors, we are still grieving and still
healing.
May we continue to remember them. May we lift up their families and
friends in our prayers and in our thoughts.
In the words of Thomas Campbell: ``To live in hearts we leave behind
is not to die.''
Our community remains strong in the face of this senseless act of
violence. In strength, in kindness, and in compassion, may we move
forward.
