           HONORING THE MEMORY OF SAMANTHA ``SAMMY'' SCHERBA

  (Mr. MILLER of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MILLER of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of 
Samantha ``Sammy'' Scherba. Sammy was just 28 when we lost her, a 
vibrant, artistic soul whose light touched every life that she 
encountered.
  She had a massive heart, big enough to embrace the entire world. 
Whether it was people, animals, or even the tiniest of insects, Sammy 
believed that every living thing deserved love and compassion. She 
brought life back into withering plants and turned simple stones into 
stunning works of art.
  In the end, she gave the ultimate gift: life to others through organ 
donation. At her honor walk at the Cleveland Clinic, more than 150 
people lined the halls, a testament to her impact.
  Sammy was a daughter, a sister, an aunt, and a friend. She loved 
deeply, and she was loved deeply.
  I honor her family who are here today, who flew in from my district, 
Ohio 7.
  May God bless her memory.
