  Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, from the 24th District of the 
great state of Florida, I rise today to recognize the late Mrs. Jeanet 
Grayson, a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, friend, and a 
devoted member of Bethel Baptist Church. I include in the Record the 
following proclamation:

       Whereas, Mrs. Jeanet Grayson was the rock and foundation of 
     her large and loving family of seventeen children, sixty-
     eight grandchildren, sixty-three great grandchildren, ten 
     great-great grandchildren, two brothers, two nephews, two 
     nieces, two great nephews, one great niece, two Godchildren, 
     three adopted daughters, seven sisters-in-law and six 
     brothers-in-law;
       Whereas, Mrs. Grayson was entrusted with the lives of 
     hundreds of school children and took great responsibility in 
     caring for them as a bus driver and food service provider 
     with Miami Dade County Public Schools, and as a bus driver 
     and student attendant at Whole Word Christian Academy;
       Whereas, Mrs. Grayson was a founder of The Road Runners, an 
     organization of Southwest Transportation;
       Whereas, Mrs. Grayson was a faithful member of Bethel 
     Baptist Church where she sang in the choir and was a driver 
     for the Evangelism Ministry; and
       Now, therefore, be it resolved that I, Frederica S. Wilson, 
     a Member of the United States House of Representatives, 
     representing the 24th Congressional District of Florida, 
     commend the late Mrs. Jeanet Grayson for her dedication to 
     her family and friends, her church and for her commitment to 
     our community.
