REMEMBERING VICTIMS OF OLD NATIONAL BANK SHOOTING

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 58 (Friday, March 27, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 58 (Friday, March 27, 2026)] [House] [Page H2782] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] REMEMBERING VICTIMS OF OLD NATIONAL BANK SHOOTING (Mr. McGARVEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. McGARVEY. Mr. Speaker, it is hard to believe, but it has been 3 years now since my hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, was forever changed by the mass shooting at Old National Bank on the Monday morning after Easter. It has been 3 years since we lost Josh Barrick; Deana Eckert; Juliana Farmer; Jim Tutt; and my good friend Tommy Elliott. Mr. Speaker, 3 years have passed, and it is still shocking. It still hurts. We are still grieving. I still haven't found the words to heal those wounds, but I want to read what Tommy's wife, Maryanne, courageously shared after this tragedy: ``May I continue to receive the gifts of grief to help heal my heart. ``May it offer me clarity, help me realize what matters and what doesn't, and then let the rest go. ``May I honor the unsolved questions and mysteries of life, the cracks; and look for the light that shines through them.'' May we all. ____________________
