                       Wednesday, January 3, 2024

  Mr. SCOTT FRANKLIN of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
life and legacy of Glades County Commissioner Donna Lou Storter Long, 
who sadly passed away in December after a hard-fought battle with 
cancer. A Hendry and Glades County native, Long pursued her calling to 
serve her community through impactful public service.
  After a career in office management and financial accounting, Long 
became a devoted civic servant for nearly two decades. She was 
appointed to the Glades County Commission in 2004 by former Governor 
Jeb Bush. Her passionate leadership reverberated throughout her 
community as she consistently advocated for the betterment of Glades 
County. She served as a mentor to many who knew her.
  Long is survived by her husband, two sons and stepdaughter, along 
with many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews who 
all enjoyed spending quality time together playing cards and getting 
together for Sunday dinners.
  May Donna rest in peace. She will be remembered as one of the most 
dedicated community leaders in the state of Florida and will be deeply 
missed.
