                        HONORING MAYOR HANDSHOE

  (Mr. STUTZMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. STUTZMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the late former 
Kendallville mayor and friend, SuzAnne Handshoe.
  Mayor Handshoe serves as an example for all of us to follow for her 
dedication to her community and her country. Her military career is 
beyond admirable, as she served 24 years as a U.S. marine and was 
inducted into the Indiana Military Veterans Hall of Fame.
  After retiring from the military, her service to her community did 
not stop. In 2004, Mayor Handshoe became Kendallville's first woman 
mayor and worked every day to improve the town of Kendallville for its 
residents.
  She had an unstoppable determination to push Kendallville forward, 
and she tackled every issue with energy and enthusiasm.
  Sadly, she passed away this week after losing a battle with cancer at 
the age of 66. She will truly be missed by all of us, but her legacy of 
service, kindness, and dedication to others will not be forgotten.
  My thoughts and prayers go out to her family, Randy, and her 
community. We will miss her dearly.
  May she rest in peace.
