  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker:
  Whereas, I hereby offer my heartfelt condolences to the family and 
friends of Rama Mae Groves Steen; and
  Whereas, Rama Mae Groves Steen was a loving sister, daughter, aunt, 
and wife to the members of her family. Rama Mae was a member of the 
Alpha Rho Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma Society International of 
Guernsey and Noble County, a National Teachers Honorary, life member of 
the Ohio retired Teachers Association, Caldwell Woman's Literary Club, 
Order of the Eastern Star, Order of the White Shrine of Jerusalem, Rosa 
Shrine 8 of Zanesville; and
  Whereas, Rama Mae Groves Steen served in the past as chairman of the 
Central and Executive Committees of Noble County Republican Party, 
Noble County Republican Woman's Club; and
  Whereas, Rama Mae Groves Steen will certainly be remembered by all 
those who knew her because of her loving nature towards her family, 
friends, and community; and
  Whereas, the understanding and caring to which she gave to others 
will stand as a monument to a truly fine person. Her life and love gave 
joy to all who knew her; and
  Therefore, while I understand how words cannot express our grief at 
this most trying of times, I offer this token of profound sympathy to 
the family and friends of Rama Mae Groves Steen.
