           HONORING THE LIFE OF REPRESENTATIVE MARTIN GRABER

  (Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS. Mr. Speaker, I stand before you today with a heavy 
heart to honor the life and legacy of a dear friend, a true servant of 
our State, and an extraordinary public servant, Representative Martin 
Graber. His unexpected passing leaves a void that cannot be filled.
  For all who knew him, Martin was more than a colleague. He was a 
friend, mentor, and dedicated leader. A proud veteran with 32 years of 
service in the Iowa National Guard and a distinguished representative 
of Iowa House District 100, Martin was a man of integrity, always 
putting the people of southeast Iowa first. His commitment to faith, 
community, and service will never be forgotten.
  To his beloved wife, Coni, their daughters and granddaughters, his 
entire family, and the rodeo family, we extend our deepest condolences. 
Martin's genuine care and unwavering dedication to those he served left 
an indelible mark on all of us.
  Mr. Speaker, may God bless his memory, and may we continue to honor 
his spirit of service as we move forward.
