                 CELEBRATING THE LIFE OF RENEE VAN NETT

  (Mr. STAUBER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. STAUBER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate and honor the 
life of Renee Van Nett from Duluth, Minnesota, who bravely battled her 
diagnosis of terminal cancer and recently passed away.
  Renee was well-known and well-loved across the northland. She was a 
dedicated mother, city council member, and active community member. Her 
tragic passing has affected many, showing the countless lives she 
touched and made a difference in.
  Though the loss leaves a hole in the lives of many, the work Renee 
accomplished has left a legacy that will live on beyond any of us.
  As the first Native American person to have been elected to the 
Duluth City Council, Renee will always be remembered as an inspiration 
to her fellow Red Lake Nation members and to the entire Native American 
community.
  I am grateful for Renee sharing her compassion, dedication, and love 
for Duluth and all its people. May we all continue to help carry on her 
legacy.
