  Mr. GOMEZ. Madam Speaker, it is with great sorrow that I share that 
the city of Los Angeles lost another angel earlier this year. Her name 
was Ruby de Vera and she was a community leader, an activist, and a 
fierce advocate in Northeast Los Angeles.
  Ruby was a remarkable person who worked tirelessly as a champion in 
both City Hall and out in the community. She was a role model and a 
true public servant who epitomized the best qualities including 
courage, selflessness, and an unwavering commitment to justice.
  Ruby's lifetime of dedication and service will be remembered and 
greatly missed by all whom she encountered and all those who were 
impacted by her leadership. May it bring comfort to her family, 
friends, and loved ones that so many are celebrating the life she led 
and praying for them at this time.
