                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. TOM LATHAM

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 26, 2008

  Mr. LATHAM. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Rayl Robbins of 
Huxley, Iowa for his service at the Wesley Community Hospice.
   Rayl is the hospice chaplain at Wesley Community Hospice, where he 
is able to incorporate his love for music at work. A self-taught 
musician, he sometimes plays on his guitar and sings hymns to some of 
the clients. He hopes to help others find peace in the midst of the 
chaos in their lives. Rayl's commitment to his job and his clients has 
earned him admiration, trust and friendship from the staff and from 
those residing in the hospice. Great service goes a long way, and I am 
honored to see fellow Iowans like Rayl providing service second to 
none.

   I know that my colleagues in the United States Congress join me in 
commending Rayl Robbins for his service at Wesley Community Hospice. I 
consider it an honor to represent him Congress, and I wish him the 
best.
