  Mr. KENNEDY of New York. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to celebrate the 
occasion of Ms. Eileen Troy's 100th birthday. Her life is a remarkable 
story of love and resilience, which we celebrate as she reaches this 
significant milestone.
  Born on May 25, 1925. in Western New York, Ms. Troy has witnessed a 
century of history and shaped the lives of those around her with her 
spirit and unwavering dedication to her community. For the last 25 
years, she has been an active and devout member of her church, North 
Presbyterian Church, where she served in the Presbyterian Women's 
Association and as a deacon.
  In the Presbyterian Women's Association, Ms. Troy worked to raise 
funds for church events, building improvements, and mission work. She 
also played an integral role in organizing events and cultivating 
relationships throughout the congregation. As a deacon, Ms. Troy's 
compassion was frequently reflected by visiting the sick, elderly, and 
grieving, closely mirroring her faith and the church's mission that 
service to others is fundamental to living as a Christian.
  Ms. Troy's life is a testament to enduring love. She is the proud 
mother of four, grandmother of seven, and great-grandmother of six. Her 
compassion, banter, and talents are cherished by all who have crossed 
her path. As she looks to the future, her goals remain simple: she 
plans to continue to explore her love of reading, ice cream, and 
watching her favorite western shows and movies.
  Mr. Speaker, today, we honor Ms. Eileen Troy for her lifetime of 
service, love, and faith to both her family and community. Ms. Troy's 
life is a testament to the power of goodwill and dedication to others. 
On behalf of a grateful community, I wish Ms. Troy a joyful and blessed 
100th birthday.
