             HONORING THE PASSING OF CAROL JENKINS BARNETT

  (Mr. C. SCOTT FRANKLIN of Florida asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. C. SCOTT FRANKLIN of Florida. Madam Speaker, I rise today in 
honor of the passing of Carol Jenkins Barnett.
  Carol was the daughter of Publix Super Markets founder George 
Jenkins. She carried the mantle of generosity and philanthropy on 
behalf of the Jenkins family and Publix Super Market Charities, 
benefiting the residents of Lakeland, Polk County, the State of 
Florida, and beyond.
  Carol had a remarkable love for her family and for the families of 
our community, advocating especially for children and early childhood 
education with her time and talent as well as her treasure.
  She impacted so many people and so many communities in ways both seen 
and unseen. Quite simply, I have never known a more generous person 
than Carol Jenkins Barnett.
  We will be praying for Carol's husband, Barney; their sons, Wesley 
and Nicholas; and their families as they mourn the loss of this 
exceptional woman.
  Carol will be missed, but her legacy endures in the generations she 
has touched.
