  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I wanted to take this moment to recognize 
the life of a friend of mine, Vicki Lee Green. Vicki was a wonderful 
woman who was loved by many. She will be greatly missed by friends, 
relatives, business associates, and acquaintances.
  Vicki was a Colorado native born in Palisade, Colorado on a peach 
farm on April 1, 1949. She was active in athletics and cheerleading 
throughout her high school and college. Vicki went to Mesa State 
College in Grand Junction, Colorado where she met her husband Lee 
Green. In 1970 they were married and in 1971 they moved to Glenwood 
Springs where they gave birth to their daughter Tonya.
  In Glenwood Springs, Vicki worked as an exercise and ski instructor 
at Ski Sunlight. Vicki later took a real estate class and discovered 
her abilities as a salesperson, leading her to become a real estate 
agent. Vicki went on to create the latest real estate firm in the area 
and soon she was recognized as one of the top realtors in Colorado. 
Vicki earned a strong reputation for her business ability. Along with 
her business affairs, she provided many contributions to the community 
and the local college (CML).
  Vicki was very dedicated to her family: her husband Lee, her brother 
Bill, her daughter Tonya, and her sister-in-law Jeannie. Vicki was so 
proud of her daughter in that among other things Tonya decided to 
follow her mom's footsteps as a realtor. Vicki considered her friends 
as family and on any occasion would assist them as only family could.
  In the very broadest of terms, Vicki was a beautiful person who 
showed her compassion and love in many ways. Despite a battle of many 
years, her disease ravaged body finally surrendered, though Vicki's 
mind fought the good fight until the end. Memories of Vicki will remain 
solidified in the minds of many, many people for years to come. Vicki 
will be deeply missed by those of us who were fortunate enough to know 
her.
