  Mr. MILLER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, it is my great honor and pleasure 
to wish a very happy birthday to Mrs. Jewell Frances Wells Golden of 
Bagdad, Florida on the occasion of her 100th birthday and to 
congratulate her on her many achievements. Mrs. Golden reached the 
century mark, an incredible milestone, on April 16 of this year.
  Jewell Golden is no stranger to the Northwest Florida community. 
Alongside her husband, the late Albert Golden, they shared many 
successes and business ventures,

which have made a lasting impact along the Gulf Coast. One factor that 
always remained constant was their love for each other, their family, 
and their strong faith in God. In fact, in 1977, Mr. and Mrs. Golden 
helped establish the Church of the Living God, now known as Heritage 
Chapel.
  Mrs. Golden is beloved and cherished by all--her family, including 
her three children, eleven grandchildren, twenty great-grandchildren, 
and a grateful community. Her greatest joys, which she shares in her 
autobiography, are spending time with her family and ``making 
memories.'' Those who have the pleasure of knowing Mrs. Golden have 
been blessed by her charisma and presence. Her life serves as an 
inspiration to many and demonstrates that hard work and strong morals 
will lead to much success and happiness.
  My wife Vicki joins me in wishing Mrs. Jewell Frances Wells Golden a 
joyous birthday. May God continue to bless her, her family and friends 
with wonderful memories for many years to come.
