                      Thursday, September 27, 2007

  Mr. KUCINICH. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of 
Josephine B. Grendell, whose selflessness and tireless devotion to her 
family made her a role model for other mothers.
  Josephine was the wife of the late Edward J. Grendell and the mother 
of Dr. James H. Grendell, as well as Ohio State Representative Timothy 
J. Grendell. She was the grandmother of Kate, Mary Jeannette, Patricia, 
Michael and James and the great-grandmother of Patrick Joseph.
  Also known as ``Mrs. G'' or ``Aunt Jo,'' Josephine truly was a 
special lady. She embraced everyone she encountered with love and joy. 
She was always energetic and smiling.
  Madam Speaker and colleagues, please join me in remembering Josephine 
Grendell, a woman whose warmth and kindness were an inspiration to all 
who knew her.
