             SUSAN MASON: SAVANNAH'S STYLE AND SERVICE ICON

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ms. 
Susan Mason, a resident of Savannah, Georgia, who has dedicated 40 
years of her life to bringing elegance, excellence, and warmth to 
thousands of life's most meaningful celebrations.
  When Susan Mason founded her catering company in 1985, she was 
recently divorced, living rent-free in a friend's home, and inspired by 
a then-up-and-coming Martha Stewart.
  What she lacked in resources, she made up for with resolve, talent, 
and a sparkling sense of humor. Over the next four decades, Susan Mason 
Catering became synonymous with silver service, culinary perfection, 
and timeless Southern style. Whether planning wrap parties for A-list 
celebrities or elegant weddings for local families, she made sure every 
detail was flawless.
  She is now 85 years young and still very much at the center of the 
party. With her signature wit and stylish presence, she has become both 
a cultural fixture and a business force in Savannah.

  Mr. Speaker, Susan Mason represents the very best of resilience, 
charm, and entrepreneurial spirit. It is an honor to recognize her 
today for 40 years of extraordinary service.
