                      IN MEMORY OF CHLOE ZULCOSKY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JOHN L. MICA

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 26, 2012

  Mr. MICA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in remembrance of Chloe Zulcosky, 
a recent graduate of Seminole High School in Sanford, Florida.
  There are some people in our lives that inspire us to be better, to 
reach for every opportunity, and, when we fall down, to brush ourselves 
off and continue pushing ahead. Friends, Chloe was one of those people. 
She served as a role model in her community, and shone through to all 
as a fun-loving and courageous young lady. Chloe showed the community 
of Seminole County how to live life as a kind, genuine and beautiful 
person.
  Chloe was the Senior Captain of her cheerleading team at Seminole 
High School. While at cheerleading camp at the beginning of her senior 
year, Chloe started having terrible migraines. After weeks of 
continuous pain, she was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a type of brain 
cancer which usually occurs with patients older than 55.
  Chloe underwent surgery in early September to remove the brain tumor. 
She was scheduled after the surgery for one year of chemotherapy to 
diminish any of the tumor that was not removed.
  She was able to experience a senior year full of love and support 
from the Seminole County community. Chloe received the honor of 
Homecoming Queen at Seminole High School, attended her prom, and 
graduated from high school.
  On Wednesday July 25, after a long and courageous fight, Chloe passed 
away. While it is with a heavy heart that I report to Congress that 
Chloe passed away today, I am confident that her life and memory will 
remain with not only those she knew, but all those who knew of her.
  I again ask we remember the life of this wonderful young woman and 
pray for the family and friends who are grieving her loss. May Chloe 
inspire us all.
