Robinson Osbey, she gave of herself to better our community and the 
causes that were near and dear to her heart; and
  Whereas, Mrs. Osbey's work is present in DeKalb County, Georgia for 
all to see, being an advocate for the youth, education, ovarian cancer 
support and research; and
  Whereas, this remarkable woman gave of herself, her time, her talent 
and her life; never asking for fame or fortune but only to uplift those 
in need; and
  Whereas, Mrs. Benita Ann Robinson Osbey led by doing, behind the 
scenes, as well as front and center for the city of Los Angeles, 
California, DeKalb County, Georgia, the Georgia Ovarian Cancer 
Alliance, her beloved church Saint Phillip African Methodist Episcopal 
Church, and for her beloved Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.; and
  Whereas, this virtuous Proverbs 31 woman was a wife, daughter, niece, 
sister, aunt and a friend; she was a warrior, a matriarch, and a woman 
of great integrity; and
  Whereas, the U.S. Representative of the Fourth District of Georgia 
has set aside this day to bestow a Congressional recognition on Mrs. 
Benita Ann Robinson Osbey for her leadership, friendship and service to 
all of the citizens of Georgia and throughout the Nation; now 
therefore, I, Henry C. ``Hank'' Johnson, Jr., do hereby attest to the 
114th Congress that Mrs. Benita Ann Robinson Osbey of DeKalb County, 
Georgia is deemed worthy and deserving of this ``Congressional Honor.''
  Mrs. Benita Ann Robinson Osbey, U.S. Citizen of Distinction in the
