                        Wednesday, June 3, 2015

  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the life of 
my Aunt, Tamela Lynn Lathery Flemmings, a woman of great faith and an 
active volunteer in the Connersville community.
  Tamela was a loving and devoted wife to her husband of 12 years, 
Marcus. She was the proud mother of her daughter, Mamie Rae Young, and 
leaves behind a large family including her husband, mother, brothers, 
sisters, as well as many, many nieces and nephews.
  In addition to spending time with her family, Tamela was known for 
her faith in the Lord, as a member of the Growing Branches for Christ 
Church. Her faith led to an active commitment in her community. Through 
her work to help others recover from their drug and alcohol addictions 
by way of the Solid Rock Ministries and the House of Ruth, Tamela was 
able to serve the lives of many. She also regularly volunteered with 
Walk a Mile in My Shoes and Gentle Christmas.
  I know my Aunt Tamela was someone with a loving spirit, who could be 
counted on for her warm laugh and big smile. She was a straight-
shooter, who was candid, loyal and smart. I will always be grateful for 
her love, friendship and support.
  Tamela, you will be missed by those you helped to smile, succeed and 
empower. May God bless you, your family, and all the people of 
Connersville who you touched and saved through your work.
