                         Monday, April 6, 2026

  Mr. BILIRAKIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize two 
extraordinary members of our community, Larry and Lois Quinn, whose 
unwavering dedication, generosity, and servant hearts are truly 
remarkable. Larry and Lois have been ambassadors for Hope Services for 
the past six years and were among the organization's very first Dream 
Team members. From the beginning, they have gone above and beyond--
offering thoughtful ideas and suggestions, carefully proofreading 
materials, and faithfully managing the raffle room for the annual Dance 
Your Dream event. Their commitment ensures that Hope Services' programs 
run smoothly and effectively, benefiting countless individuals and 
families.
  Beyond their service to Hope Services, Larry and Lois are beloved 
members of Bridgeway Church, where they are known for their loving, 
joyful spirits and quiet, steadfast devotion to helping others. They 
serve faithfully behind the scenes, without seeking recognition or 
fanfare, motivated solely by a desire to make a positive difference in 
the lives of those around them. Larry and Lois embody lives of purpose 
and faith. Their generosity, humility, and consistent acts of service 
reflect hearts of gold and a deep commitment to living out their values 
each day. They inspire all who know them by demonstrating that true 
heroism is often found not in public accolades, but in quiet, selfless 
service.
  For their enduring dedication, compassionate hearts, and profound 
impact on their community, I am honored to recognize Larry and Lois 
Quinn as 2026 Heroes Among Us. I ask my colleagues to join me in 
honoring their unwavering commitment, selfless leadership, and the 
profound, lasting impact they have made on our community.
