                HONORING THE LIFE OF MARY BULLOCK DEMERE

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of 
Mary Bullock Demere, a friend to many in Savannah, Georgia.
  A grandmother to 17 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren, Mary 
loved to spend time with her family and was known as the ultimate 
hostess, always entertaining those dearest to her.
  You could find Mary gardening, sailing with her husband, or dancing 
the jitterbug in her free time, and her loving compassion extended not 
just to her friends and family but also to animals. In fact, Mary would 
tell you that she could even speak to bears.
  Her generous and kind spirit led her to become an avid donor to 
numerous charities, and Mary also dedicated her time and energy to 
organizations in Savannah like the Savannah Junior League and Savannah 
Garden Club.
  I send my thoughts and prayers to Mary's family and thank God for 
having brought such a beacon of light and joy into this world.
