         HONORING THE EXTRAORDINARY LIFE OF SUSAN OLSEN MURRAY

  (Ms. KAPTUR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the extraordinary life 
of Susan Olsen Murray, a beloved daughter of Sandusky, Ohio, and a 
shining star of the very kind and generous heart of northwest Ohio's 
people.
  Susan was a woman whose generosity was limitless. She carried within 
her a rare and radiant gift, the ability to make every person she met 
feel valued, uplifted, and truly seen.
  During her decades in Sandusky, she poured her energy into service, 
education, and community building. Whether teaching young readers at 
Saints Peter and Paul School, helping found the Boys and Girls Club of 
Erie County, or simply offering a kind word at precisely the right 
moment, Susan made humanity her vocation.
  Always prioritizing positivity, she always put others before herself. 
What a great world it would be if everybody was that way.
  Susan and her husband John walked through life with devotion and joy. 
They raised a caring, wise family rooted in love, learning, and 
compassion.
  Her children, Leslie, John Jr., and Tim, and grandchildren Heather, 
William, Hugh, and Ella, carry forward her spirit of warmth and 
boundless generosity.
  To all who mourn her, may her memory be a blessing, and may her life 
be a reminder that a life lived generously can brighten an entire 
community.
