                          HONORING EDNA MORRIS

  (Mr. MORAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MORAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor my friend, Edna Morris, 
who recently joined our Lord in Heaven.
  During my time as a Smith County judge, I had the pleasure of working 
directly with Edna, an optimistic, gentle, and patient woman who 
treated everyone around her with kindness.
  Edna was devout in her faith and firmly knew that her eternal future 
was rooted in it. She never worried. Edna consistently encouraged those 
around her to see the good in every situation, and she led by example.
  She persevered through many obstacles and lived a full life, 
passionately serving her community in any way that she could, from 
serving Smith County as chief deputy of elections to helping in her 
church office, to volunteering at her granddaughter's school.
  In a world where people have the choice to be anything, she always 
chose to be kind.
  Edna will be missed deeply by me and so many others in Smith County. 
My prayers are with her family, friends, and all who were blessed to 
know her.
