                  IN RECOGNITION OF PHYLLIS J. EDWARDS

  (Ms. TLAIB asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. TLAIB. Mr. Speaker, today, I want to celebrate the exceptional 
leadership and commitment to service by Phyllis J. Edwards, who I 
warmly refer to as Director Edwards. She has dedicated her work to 
protect and advocate for the underrepresented communities within 
Michigan's 13th District Strong, specifically our senior citizens in 
Detroit.
  Director Edwards was the executive director of Bridging Communities 
in southwest Detroit for over a decade, and prior to that, she was the 
social service program manager for more than 30 years within the Wayne 
County Department of Health and Human Services.
  Her work and proactive community involvement has made an immeasurable 
impact on the lives of countless residents. As a longtime Detroit 
resident, her efforts to improve the quality of life for our seniors 
demonstrated her love, commitment, and compassion for community-based 
work.
  Please join me in recognizing her many outstanding contributions to 
Michigan's 13th District Strong as we wish her well on the next chapter 
of her life.
