  Mr. MILLER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
distinguished life and service of Mrs. Angelina Tabbitas Larsen. Mrs. 
Larsen, known by those in the community as ``Angel'', was born July 28, 
1941 to Nunzio and Frances Tabbitas in Brooklyn, New York, and for the 
past few decades, Mrs. Larsen has called Northwest Florida home. She 
will be missed by many, but her memory will live on through the 
timeless legacy she leaves behind.
   Mrs. Larsen spent her life in service to God and country. For twenty 
years, she dedicated her time to serving the brave men and women of our 
Armed Forces at the Pensacola USO Centers. Through her support and 
gratitude, she had the ability to lift spirits and bring warmth and 
merriment to our troops and their families.
   To some, Mrs. Larsen will be remembered for her commitment to our 
nation's heroes; to others, she will be remembered for her strong faith 
in God and as a fellow member of Kingsway Church. To her family and 
friends, she will be remembered for Nana's Sunday dinner gatherings and 
as a loving and caring wife, mother, grandmother, and great-
grandmother.
   On behalf of the United States Congress, I am honored to recognize 
the life and service of Mrs. Angelina Tabbitas Larsen. My wife Vicki 
joins me in extending our thoughts and prayers to her husband, Bob; 
daughter, Jeannie; sons, Salvatore, Mario, and Edward, and the entire 
Larsen family.
