HONORING THE LIFE OF MACI REED
(Mr. O'HALLERAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.)
Mr. O'HALLERAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Maci Reed, the 4-year-old girl from Pima, Arizona, who was swept away by flood waters and tragically passed away this month.
Words cannot express the heartbreak and devastation of losing a child, and Maci's loss is one that will be felt throughout her community. I wish the Reed family strength and peace during this immensely difficult time.
In the wake of this tragedy, I am heartened to see an outpouring of love and support from countless in the community. I encourage every Arizonan to continue to show kindness to their neighbors.
I also urge everyone to prioritize safety above all else during the monsoon season. My wife and I are keeping Maci's family, loved ones, and the entire Pima community in our prayers as they mourn her passing.
