                          HON. JOSH GOTTHEIMER

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 29, 2026

  Mr. GOTTHEIMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and 
memory of Carol Wrotniak, who passed away on June 7, 2026,

[[Page E629]]

at the venerable age of 94. Carol was a woman of deep faith and a 
cherished pillar of her community, leaving behind a profound legacy of 
devotion and love.
  I wish to extend my deepest condolences to my dear friend and 
colleague, Representative Tom Suozzi, his remarkable wife, Helene, and 
their family on the passing of her beloved mother. Carol's life was 
defined by her unwavering commitment to her family and her heritage. As 
a devoted Catholic and a proud member of Glen Cove's Polish community, 
she brought warmth, kindness, and generosity to everyone fortunate 
enough to know her.
  Above all, Carol was a cornerstone for her family. Her enduring love 
will live on through her children, grandchildren, and great-
grandchildren, who were the pride and joy of her life.
  Carol's spirit continues to shine brightly through the lives of the 
many people she impacted. I ask my colleagues to join me in remembering 
this remarkable individual and celebrating the inspiring life she 
lived.
