                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 14, 2006

  Mr. WELDON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with great 
sadness and tremendous gratitude to honor the life of my good friend, 
Margaret E. Miller, a generous and dedicated member of the community 
who will be greatly missed in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. Mrs. 
Miller, known to her many friends as ``Pearl'', was a woman of 
character, ability and charm, and we shall all miss her very much.
  Pearl Miller was renowned for her unswerving loyalty to her friends 
and family. She worked to make a difference in the lives of others and 
everyone who met her was warmed by her friendliness and hospitality.
  While establishing her reputation as a loving wife and mother, Pearl 
also distinguished herself as a gracious hostess and active supporter 
of many admirable causes. Pearl Miller was a woman of integrity, 
compassion, and dedication. She carried out her responsibilities as 
mother, wife, hostess, campaign advisor, and friend with a grace and 
style, which few could match. Her loss is felt deeply throughout 
Delaware County, particularly in Springfield, the town she proudly 
called home.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in remembering Pearl 
Miller, a dedicated friend to many in the 7th Congressional District. I 
wish Pearl's husband, Rutherford S. ``Ford'' Miller, Sr. and family my 
heartfelt condolences. May they find comfort in knowing that the many 
people she impacted deeply value her dedication and generosity and the 
example of her life and work.
