                       Tuesday, December 19, 2023

  Mr. FALLON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the life of Mrs. 
Doris ``Ellen'' Graham of Canton, Texas, who peacefully passed away on 
December 12, 2023 with her family by her side.
  Mrs. Graham was raised in the Dallas area and graduated from Spruce 
High School in 1969. During high school, she met the love of her life, 
Mr. Timothy ``Tim'' Aron Graham, whom she married in 1970. Together, 
they had four children. For most of her career, Mrs. Graham worked for 
Texas Health and Human Services until she retired in 2015.
  Mrs. Graham was a wife, mother, and friend to many. In her free time, 
she enjoyed reading and crocheting. However, her most treasured pastime 
was spending time with her family, especially the grandchildren, whom 
she loved dearly. Mrs. Graham truly made the world a brighter place 
with her presence, and it is heartbreaking to see our community 
experience her tragic passing.
  I have requested the United States flag to be flown over our Nation's 
Capitol in recognition of Mrs. Graham's life and contributions to North 
Texas. She will be dearly missed by her friends, family, and all who 
knew her.
