                       Tuesday, November 25, 2025

  Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life 
and legacy of former Miami-Dade County Police Officer Kim Jones Lang.
  Kim Jones was born on October 16, 1958, in Miami, Florida, as the 
beloved firstborn child of Nina Jo Clark Jones and Thomas Jones, Jr.
  Raised in a home filled with faith, devotion, and love, Kim embodied 
the strong Christian values instilled in her by her family, living a 
life of kindness, integrity, and unwavering dedication to serving 
others.
  In matters of the heart, Officer Lang was blessed to share 43 years 
of marriage with her devoted husband, Reverend Bernard Lang, with whom 
she built a life rooted in love and faith. Their union was blessed with 
two cherished sons, Justin and Julian, whom she nurtured with boundless 
love, wisdom, and encouragement.
  Officer Lang dedicated her professional career to public service, 
joining the Miami-Dade Police Department, where she served with honor, 
integrity, and an unwavering commitment to protecting the citizens of 
Miami-Dade County, ultimately retiring in 2012 after an esteemed 
career.
  Officer Lang's faith was the foundation of her life, having first 
joined the Greater New Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church before 
continuing her faithful service at New Mount Calvary Missionary Baptist 
Church, where she stood beside her husband in his pastoral leadership.
  Officer Lang will always be remembered as a beacon of love, warmth, 
and generosity, whose presence brightened the lives of all who knew 
her. Kim's compassion extended beyond her family to the broader 
community, and her legacy will continue to inspire generations to come.
  Kim Jones Lang leaves a rich legacy in the hearts and minds of her 
devoted Husband, Bernard Lang; Sons, Justin Lang and Julian Lang; 
Sisters, Pamela Jones, Maria Jones, Chantel Jones-Whyte; and Brother, 
Thomas Chauncey Jones, Jr.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me as I am honored to recognize the life and 
legacy of Kim Jones Lang as an expression of my deepest sympathy and 
respect for a life well-lived and a soul well-loved.
