Recognizing Lee Irwin

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. McCORMICK. Mr. Speaker, it is my great honor to recognize Lee Irwin on the week of her 90th birthday.

She has lived an extraordinary life. Mr. Speaker, she has spent 90 years of serving the community, making tens of thousands of dresses and britches for those young people over in Africa that don't have very much, serving her community and the Methodist Church that she served as both a secretary and now a volunteer teaching accordion, and raising three lovely children, also known as my cousins.

Welcome to just a great woman here in the House to recognize a life well lived. Happy birthday. I love you, and God bless you.
