                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, July 29, 2022

  Mr. HILL. Madam Speaker, I rise to congratulate Burlene Shepard and 
John Fisher who were married June 9.
  At The Crossing at Riverside Health and Rehab in Searcy, Burlene was 
65 and never married and John Fisher, at 66, moved into a nearby room. 
It didn't take long for the two to find themselves talking for hours 
and soon after, falling in love.
  While unexpected, their relationship lit up the center and brought 
together residents and staff members as they created a beautiful 
ceremony.
  Surrounded by friends and family, the couple celebrated their love as 
they had their wedding in the very lobby where they got to know one 
another.
  Best wishes to them both.
