                  MOURNING THE LOSS OF PAMELA RICHARDS

  (Ms. PLASKETT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. PLASKETT. Mr. Speaker, I stand before you today to honor one of 
the Virgin Islands' very own, the recently departed, Pam Richards.
  A dedicated public servant, Pam's unwavering service to the Virgin 
Islands and tireless efforts to enhance our culture and heritage leave 
behind a legacy and an indelible mark on all us.
  Pamela Richards served as Commissioner of Tourism of the Virgin 
Islands Government, executive director of the 29th legislature of the 
Virgin Islands, district director of my office, and more recently, she 
was the interim chief of staff for President David Hall of the 
University of the Virgin Islands. She served on too many nonprofits and 
government boards to mention.
  Although deeply saddened by her passing, I find comfort in the 
memories of her: her sarcastic humor, our shared stories of our Virgin 
Islands ancestors, history, and culture.
  Mr. Speaker, I say to Pam, rest well, queen. We will remember her 
legacy.
