                       Tuesday, February 1, 2000

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to pause and 
remember the life of a woman that always had an open heart and hand to 
all, Mrs. Bessie Crouse Boren Miller.
  Mrs. Miller was born on February 4, 1920, in Montezuma, Kansas, to 
Joseph Oliver Crouse and Edith Angelique Fincher Crouse. She moved with 
her family to the Eastern slope of Colorado in a covered wagon. There, 
in Villgreen, Colorado, she attended school. She was known as a very 
athletic person and loved to run track.
  Mrs. Miller was known for her cooking in all of the local cafes. She 
was also known for welcoming anyone and doing anything she could to 
help. Mrs. Miller loved to read and sing old hymns.
  It is with this, Mr. Speaker, that I would like to pay tribute to the 
life of Mrs. Miller, a woman with a heart of gold.
