                    PAYING TRIBUTE TO JEANETTE WARE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, October 4, 2004

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is with a sad heart that I rise to pay 
tribute to the passing of Jeanette Ware, a dedicated humanitarian from 
Carbondale, Colorado. Jeannette was a devoted member of the community, 
and will be missed by many in Carbondale. As her family and friends 
mourn her loss, I believe it is appropriate to recognize Jeanette 
before this body and this Nation today.
  Jeanette Ware moved to Carbondale in 2000 and immediately volunteered 
as an Emergency Medical Technician with the fire department. Instantly 
making a difference, she was recognized as the rookie of the year in 
2001 and was later awarded the Carbondale Fire department's Life Saver 
Award for saving a child's life. Jeanette also started her own business 
as a midwife, assisting mothers with child birth and caring for their 
babies. She sadly was taken from this world, at the young age of 28, in 
a car accident when her car lost control and went off the road.
  Mr. Speaker, Jeanette was a dedicated young woman that selflessly 
served her community, and I am honored to pay tribute to such an 
amazing person. At such a young age, her contributions to the community 
are an incredible model for all Americans. My thoughts and prayers go 
out to her family and friends during this time of bereavement.
