                        A TRIBUTE TO ANNE TAYLOR

  (Ms. LEE of California asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. LEE of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise with an extremely heavy 
heart to pay tribute to the life of our beloved Anne Louise Taylor who 
passed away last week.
  Words cannot really express my sadness as we mourn Anne's untimely 
death. She served as my district director for more than 5 years, but 
more importantly, she was a trusted and loving friend.
  Anne's contributions to the residents of the East Bay were enormous. 
With true compassion and commitment, she touched the lives of thousands 
of people. Prior to joining my office, Anne's accomplished public 
career included working for California Assembly Member and California 
State Board of

Equalization Member Johan Klehs; was district director for Assembly 
Member Ellen Corbett; and was head of government relations at 
California State East Bay during the administration of President Mo 
Qayoumi.
  Not only was she a true public servant and a phenomenal woman, but 
she was deeply passionate about her community of Alameda, California, 
where she attended high school and loved the Fourth of July parade and 
the Alameda Point Antique Faire.
  Our deepest condolences from my office, my community, and my staff. 
Our condolences go out to Anne's two exceptional daughters, Eleanore 
and Grace Guenon, and to her entire family, whom she loved deeply.
  Our thoughts and our prayers are with them during these very 
difficult days. May her spirit continue to soar and her memory stay 
very close to our hearts. She touched so many lives. We know that her 
soul is resting in peace.
