                       REMEMBERING CATHY CUMMINGS

  (Mrs. BICE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. BICE. Mr. Speaker, on February 11, Oklahoma City lost a 
wonderful public servant. Cathy Cummings was one of the most positive 
and friendly women you would ever meet. Although our political leanings 
were quite different, she always greeted me with a hug and a smile when 
we would see each other.
  Cathy served as the mayor of The Village as well as a city 
councilwoman and championed causes she felt could make a difference in 
her community. She may be best known as the owner of Vito's Ristorante, 
a popular Italian restaurant that re-created many of the recipes Cathy 
learned from her upbringing in a very traditional Italian family.
  Family was the most important thing to Cathy, and I know her husband, 
Sean; daughters, RoseMarie, Danielle, and Angelina; and sons, Gabriel 
and Kyle, are proud of the woman she was and the legacy she leaves 
behind.
  Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine 
upon her. May the souls and the souls of all the faithful departed, 
through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
