                   HONORING THE LIFE OF BATTA VUCIJIC

  (Mr. GARCIA of California asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GARCIA of California. Madam Speaker, I would like to take a 
moment to honor the life of my dear friend, Batta Vucijic.
  Batta was a leader in our community whose contributions to North LA 
County will live on for several generations. As a founding board member 
at the Ministry of Life Without Limbs, he spread the good word of our 
savior Jesus Christ to many, including those in prison ministries.
  Batta is served by the love of his life, Rita; their seven children, 
Marco, Natalie, Elena, Lara, Daniela, Dario, Ariana, and Nataliya, who 
he loved as his own; their spouses; and dozens more family members.
  I will always remember Batta's commitment to our community and his 
friendship. We will miss him dearly. Today, he sits next to the one 
true king in heaven and looks down upon us all with pride with his 
warm, humble demeanor.
  Batta was a dear friend, a great American, and a true believer. We 
love you and miss you, my friend. God blessed us with Batta's presence 
and now has brought him home.
