              CELEBRATING THE LIFE OF BRAEDAN STEVEN PENCE

  (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 celebrate the 
life of Braedan Steven Pence.
  Braedan passed away this past October after courageously fighting 
multiple medical conditions for his entire life. Braedan's life was cut 
tragically short, but the impact that he left on others, his friends, 
his family, and members of our community will be felt forever.
  He was known for his kindness and the joy that he confidently 
displayed to others. You could often find Braedan outside enjoying the 
sunshine or on a walk with his nurse, Bonnie, waving at everyone he 
passed.
  Braedan should be an example to all of us on how we should live our 
lives. Even in the face of adversity and challenges, it is important to 
always stay positive and to be kind to others. I, again, express my 
deepest sympathies to Braedan's family.
