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.
