  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize an 
outstanding constituent from my district, Virginia Jewell Rogers 
Burroughs. Ginny was born on December 19, 1920. As we celebrate her 102 
years of life, we think of all the memories and stories that she has 
and continues to share as a citizen of this great country. Ginny was 
born and raised in the Trenton, New Jersey area, spending much of her 
adult life in Pennington, New Jersey. She is a mother and was the 
devoted wife of her husband, Robert Burroughs who was the CEO and Owner 
of the Trenton Folding Box Company. Ginny raised 4 children and is the 
grandmother to 9 grandchildren and multiple great-grandchildren. Ginny 
would often split her time between Pennington, New Jersey and Naples, 
Florida until she retired at Holland Village where she actively engages 
in the community beyond bingo and canasta. Ginny is a supportive voice 
in the Holland Village Community and continues to care for others by 
making sure they have their meals and welcomes visitors to her dining 
room table. Now as she has turned 102 years young, I am proud to 
recognize and celebrate Virginia Jewell Rogers Burroughs as an 
exceptional citizen from my district. We are incredibly grateful for 
the positive impact Ginny has had throughout her life and the countless 
people she has touched through her kindness, and we wish Ginny 
countless blessings as she continues to be a voice for her community.
