                    HONORING THE LIFE OF CANDIS KING

  (Mr. VINDMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. VINDMAN. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor the life of Miss 
Candis King. Candis was a lifelong resident of Prince William County 
and the beloved daughter of my friend, Delegate Candi Mundon King, and 
Deputy Sheriff Joshua King.
  Candis was known for her kindness and creativity and the ability to 
brighten every room. She left a lasting impact on her peers, teachers, 
and community. Tragically, Candis passed away from complications of 
sickle cell disease. We need to invest more in medical research, expand 
access to care, and raise greater national attention to this serious 
disease.
  I extend my deepest condolences to Delegate King, Deputy Sheriff 
King, and their entire family. Their strength in the face of 
unimaginable loss is truly inspiring.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring the life of 
Miss Candis King who was only 15 years old when she passed. Though her 
time was far too short, her legacy of joy, creativity, and resilience 
will endure.
