                       HONORING KIM NESBITT GOOD

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from New 
Jersey (Mr. Menendez) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. MENENDEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a dedicated member 
of our community, Ms. Kim Nesbitt Good.
  Together with her husband, Ted, Kim owns the Nesbitt Funeral Home in 
Elizabeth, New Jersey. In this role, she builds on the legacy of her 
parents, who started the business nearly 100 years ago.
  Kim's advocacy and accomplishments run much deeper than just her 
business acumen. When it comes to uplifting Black voices and making 
real progress in the fight for equality and justice in the city of 
Elizabeth and beyond, Kim Nesbitt Good's legacy is unparalleled.
  As the founder of Friends, an organization of Black women dedicated 
to the success and prosperity of their community, Kim has been a 
leading voice for creating change for women, families, and our 
community as a whole. As the founder of the Friends of New Jersey 
Legacy Foundation, she is working tirelessly to recognize Black history 
and honor the trailblazers who paved the way toward progress for 
generations of people in Elizabeth and Union County.
  As we celebrate Black History Month, it is important that we uplift 
the stories of those who continue to make a difference in our 
communities. Kim Nesbitt Good is an excellent neighbor, a friend to so 
many, and a tireless advocate for the causes she is so deeply 
passionate about.
  It is a privilege to represent her here in Congress, and on behalf of 
the entire Eighth Congressional District of New Jersey, I thank her for 
her commitment to serving others.


             Honoring the Life and Legacy of Gary Greenberg

  Mr. MENENDEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the incredible life 
and legacy of Gary Greenberg, who passed away last week.
  Gary embodied the meaning of public service, community, and care for 
others. He devoted his life and career to serving our youth as 
executive director and CEO of the Hudson County Boys and Girls Club 
since 1996 and in various roles within the organization prior to that.
  Gary was a force in Hudson County. Even if you didn't have the 
privilege of knowing him personally, it is all but guaranteed that you 
benefited from his impact on our community as a whole.
  Gary was selfless, devoted, and cared deeply about children and young 
adults who needed a helping hand. He went above and beyond in this 
role, working with teenagers in the club's Keystone Leadership Group to 
advocate for better mental health services in our State.
  Our community is stronger, more vibrant, and more inclusive because 
of Gary Greenberg, and he will be sorely missed. Our thoughts are with 
his family and all those who loved him and were impacted by his 
extraordinary life.
