           HONORING THE LIVES OF MARY ``MAY'' AND BOB KREIDER

  (Mr. LAWLER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LAWLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the lives of two 
remarkable constituents from Pearl River, May and Bob Kreider, who 
passed away this summer just weeks apart after 67 years of marriage.
  May Kreider, a proud Bronx native and first-generation Irish 
American, built a career as a nurse and educator, earning her master's 
degree from Columbia University. She gave her life to caring for 
others, whether at Columbia Presbyterian, in hospice, or through her 
leadership with the Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernians in Pearl River 
where she was blessed to be named the grand marshal of the Rockland 
County St. Patrick's Day Parade in 2010.
  Bob Kreider proudly served our Nation in the Navy during the Korean 
war and later as a highly decorated detective sergeant with the NYPD. 
His life was defined by service, faith, and devotion to his family and 
protecting his community.
  Together, Bob and May raised five children and built not just a 
family but a home rooted in love, faith, and service. Their legacy 
lives on in Pearl River, in the children and their eight grandchildren 
that they cherished, and in the countless lives they touched with their 
kindness.
  May God bless the memory of Bob and May Kreider, and may He continue 
to comfort their family and friends during this time of loss.
