  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, it is with a heavy heart that I rise today to 
pay my respects to

Dr. Phil Lineberger. He was a noble, God-fearing man who left us too 
soon.
  Pastor Phil served as pastor of Sugar Land Baptist Church since 
November 1995 and was the senior pastor until the time of his death. 
Pastor Phil mentored many people during his forty-five years as a 
pastor and was even coined ``the real Dr. Phil'' by members of his 
congregation for how readily he nurtured others through good and bad 
times. Pastor Phil touched many people throughout his life and always 
gave of himself unconditionally in service of others.
  I extend my deepest condolences to Phil's wife, Brenda, his three 
daughters, and ten beautiful grandchildren. Our prayers are with each 
of you during this unimaginable grief. Your husband, father, and 
grandfather was loved by many. I know that your family at Sugar Land 
Baptist Church is lifting you up in prayers and surrounding you with 
love. Again, the folks from the Twenty Second Congressional District 
are very sorry for your loss. We lost Phil too soon, and he will be 
missed.
