                        IN MEMORY OF FAY LATHAM

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. J. RANDY FORBES

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 11, 2002

  Mr. FORBES. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember my dear friend, Fay 
Latham.
  Fay was a loving mother, grandmother, and servant of God, but to me 
she was first and foremost a trusted friend. If I can convey but one 
overriding memory of Fay, it is that she was always there for me from 
the earliest days onward. As I embarked on my career in government 
service, she was active in each of my campaigns, contributing even more 
than I could have asked. I owe her much.
  While Fay's loss to the community will be considerable, her 
dedication and commitment to principal will continue to inspire. We 
must continue to remember and honor people like Fay Latham who 
steadfastly step in the breach when principle and duty call. Her 
husband Jesse and her family have my continuing gratitude and respect.
