               REMEMBERING THE LIFE OF MELINDA GAY POWELL

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember the life 
of an incredible and selfless woman, Melinda Powell, affectionately 
referred to as ``Sweet Melinda.''
  A nurse and nurse practitioner by trade, Melinda led by example, 
setting an unparalleled standard of love and service, enriching the 
lives of her friends, family, and community members.
  Melinda resided in Savannah, Georgia, where she remained an active 
member of the Savannah community for many years. She was a caring woman 
who looked after her patients like they were her own family.
  She left a lasting impression on everyone that she encountered and 
was deeply loved by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. Her 
service and love for our community will forever be remembered and her 
memory will always be cherished.
  My thoughts and prayers reside with Melinda's family and friends 
through this most tremendous loss, and I wish her Godspeed on her 
journey home.
