                        HONORING RENAE OGLETREE

  (Mr. QUIGLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Speaker, Renae Ogletree dedicated her life to 
fighting for others. She fought for equality in the GLBT community. She 
fought for equality for everyone. She fought to bring people together 
around issues of diversity, development, and health care. She fought 
for the children in the Chicago Public Schools.
  In the final days of her life, the community she served for so long 
surrounded her with love and comfort. Upon learning of her illness, 
President Obama wrote to Renae, ``In trying times, each of us draw on 
the power of hope, determination, perseverance, and faith.''
  Renae Ogletree lived her life changing the community she served 
through a perseverance few may ever know.
  Renae, we'll continue your fight.
