  Mr. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to a member 
of my church, a devoted wife and mother, a Christian woman and a friend 
to many.
  Mrs. Ada Lee Patrick was born in Holmes County, Mississippi, in 1948 
and migrated with her family to Chicago, Illinois in 1957. She attended 
the local elementary and high school on the west side of Chicago. She 
was baptized at the Mt. Carmel Church and later joined new morning star 
and ultimately new Galilee MBC where she remained until death. Ada met 
and married Mr. Frank Patrick and together they became proud parents of 
five children.
  Mrs. Patrick was actively involved in her church and was known as a 
cheerful and upbeat person. Her backing was legendary and she is always 
ready to share encouraging words with everyone.
  Mr. Speaker, the world is a better place in which to live because of 
the life and contributions of Mrs. Ada Lee Patrick. May her soul rest 
in peace and we extend our heartfelt condolences to her husband Frank 
and other members of her family.
