                       SARAH TERRY/RELAY FOR LIFE

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under a previous order of the House, the 
gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Goode) is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. GOODE. I rise to salute the Prince Edward County and Longwood 
University Relay for Life for their fundraising efforts for the 
American Cancer Society.
  Cancer affects millions of families across the United States each 
year. The 2008 Prince Edward/Longwood Relay for Life is particularly 
special because this year's walk will honor Sarah Terry, a long-time 
community activist and a manager of my Farmville office. Sarah served 
on the Virginia Board of Corrections, the Longwood University Board of 
Visitors, and as Executive Director of the Farmville Area Chamber of 
Commerce.
  Sarah battled breast cancer for almost a decade before succumbing to 
the illness on December 1, 2007. Even while ill, Sarah continued to 
fight diligently for the Farmville/Prince Edward community in many 
capacities to promote the local economy, outdoor recreation and 
tourism.
  I commend the Relay for Life for honoring an inspirational figure and 
community leader in Sarah Terry.
