  Mr. BRESNAHAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Lynette Villano, a 
cherished member of the Luzerne County community and lifelong 
northeastern Pennsylvanian who passed away last month.
  Lynette was born in Wilkes-Barre and spent the majority of her life 
in West Pittston, where she was an avid member of the community.

From the West Pittston Community Pool to West Pittston Little League to 
local volunteering and fundraising, Lynette was known and loved by many 
for her loyalty. She was also incredibly involved in the political 
community, serving as the first female chair of the Luzerne County 
Republican Committee. You could not be involved in NEPA politics 
without knowing Lynette.
  Lynette fought a courageous battle with breast cancer and will be 
remembered for her strength and kindness. She will be deeply missed by 
her family, friends, the West Pittston community, and all who she knew 
throughout Luzerne County.
