  Mrs. CHERFILUS-McCORMICK. Madam Speaker, I include in the Record the 
following Proclamation.
  Whereas, Sandra Morriseau, 53, passed away on February 18, 2022, 
after a courageous health battle.
  Whereas, Sandra was born on the 22nd of May in 1968 to parents Joseph 
(who preceded her in death) and Marie-Carmel Louisias. Her birthplace 
as well as the setting of her childhood was Brooklyn, New York.
  Whereas, she attended Clara Barton High School in Brooklyn. Shortly 
after, in 1989, Sandra moved to Miami Shores Florida with her parents 
and brother. While living in Miami, Sandra attended Barry University 
and pursued a degree in Nursing. She graduated and very quickly 
realized her calling was in the entertainment industry. She spent her 
life committed to uplifting Haitian culture in the Miami area and had a 
zest for life that shined through all the events she worked on and the 
friendships she nurtured within the community.
  Whereas, through hard work and grace, Sandra accomplished many feats. 
Some of her accomplishments included becoming the first Island 
television employees, working at the Little Haiti Cultural Center, 
helping produce Sound of Little Haiti, and multiple other impressive 
acts.
  Whereas, in 2003, she married Riquet Morriseau and they had two 
beautiful children, Samara and Matthew Morriseau. Sandra was a 
dedicated wife and mother. She treasured her two children and embraced 
every moment with them.
  Whereas, she was a loving and compassionate person who loved to go 
above and beyond in everything that she did. All her actions were 
committed with elegance and class. Those who knew her will remember 
Sandra for being a perfectionist, loving, and a caring daughter, 
sister, and friend.
  Whereas, let us strive to honor her memory by pursuing our passions 
and living a full life as she would have wanted us to.
