               CONGRATULATIONS TO MRS. LUZ GAMBOA RANGEL

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. WILL HURD

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, February 2, 2017

  Mr. HURD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 107th birthday 
of Luz Gamboa Rangel of Crystal City, Texas.
  Luz was born on the Texas-Mexico Border on February 8, 1910 and moved 
to Texas with her mother and brother in 1914. She has lived in South 
Texas for the past 103 years. Most of those years have been spent on 
the same piece of land in Crystal City, Texas--a gift from her husband 
after they married. Today Luz loves spending time with family and 
making use of her good sense of humor. Luz has seen more in her 
lifetime than many of us likely ever will and I have no doubt that we 
could all learn a thing or two from her. Luz's family and community are 
blessed to have her as part of their lives.
  On behalf of the Twenty-third Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations to Mrs. Luz Gamboa Rangel on turning 107 years old, and 
may she celebrate many more.
