JOSH GOTTHEIMER of new jersey in the house of representatives Monday, June 29, 2026 Mr. GOTTHEIMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and memory of Carol Wrotniak, who passed away on June 7, 2026, [[Page E629]] at the venerable age of 94. Carol was a woman of deep faith and a cherished pillar of her community, leaving behind a profound legacy of devotion and love. I wish to extend my deepest condolences to my dear friend and colleague, Representative Tom Suozzi, his remarkable wife, Helene, and their family on the passing of her beloved mother. Carol's life was defined by her unwavering commitment to her family and her heritage. As a devoted Catholic and a proud member of Glen Cove's Polish community, she brought warmth, kindness, and generosity to everyone fortunate enough to know her. Above all, Carol was a cornerstone for her family. Her enduring love will live on through her children, grandchildren, and great- grandchildren, who were the pride and joy of her life. Carol's spirit continues to shine brightly through the lives of the many people she impacted. I ask my colleagues to join me in remembering this remarkable individual and celebrating the inspiring life she lived. ____________________
