  Mr. FOSTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy of 
Susan Burtnette of Woodridge, Illinois, who passed away Sunday morning 
after an abbreviated battle with lung cancer.
  Susan was a remarkable member of the Woodridge community, where she 
lived for 35 years. Her love for her community was evident in the 
passion and dedication she had for leaving this world a better place. 
In addition to being elected to the position of Village Trustee earlier 
this month, Susan was an active member of the League of Women Voters, 
Woodridge Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Woodridge Jubilee 
Committee.
  Her memory lives on through her three children Brad, Scott, and 
Kristina, and her grandchildren Riley, Reese, Carson and Landon,

and the countless lives she touched. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues 
to join me in remembering Susan Burtnette. She will be deeply missed.
