  Mr. ROGERS of Kentucky. Mr. Speaker, my colleague from Kentucky's 
Third Congressional District, Anne Northup, along with her husband, 
Woody, suffered the tragic loss of her son Joshua on Wednesday, July 
12, 2006. By all accounts, Joshua was an outstanding young man who will 
be truly missed by his family and friends. Joshua was a 1998 graduate 
of Saint Joseph's College of Rensselaer, Indiana. In 1995, Joshua 
ventured to Tanzania, Africa with a priest from Saint Joseph's,

where he continued his education and volunteered in a leper colony to 
help those most in need.
  Joshua was employed at Humana, Inc., Louisville, Kentucky, where he 
was clearly a valued employee. Upon hearing the sad news, Humana issued 
the following statement: ``Joshua was an exemplary Humana associate, 
beloved by his colleagues and held in high esteem by his supervisors. 
We are deeply saddened by his death and extend our thoughts, prayers 
and heartfelt sympathy to his family.''
  Funeral services were held for Joshua at Holy Spirit Catholic Church, 
Louisville, Kentucky, on Saturday, July 15, 2006. Joshua is survived by 
his parents, Anne and Woody Northup, and five brothers and sisters: 
David, Katie, Kevin, Mark and Erin.
  On behalf of the entire congressional delegation from Kentucky, as 
well as her colleagues from across the Nation, we offer our most 
sincere condolences to the entire Northup family.
