REMEMBERING MOLLY McGOVERN

Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 73 (Thursday, May 1, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 73 (Thursday, May 1, 2025)] [House] [Page H1790] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] REMEMBERING MOLLY McGOVERN (Ms. STEVENS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.) Ms. STEVENS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an incredible individual who has taken from this world far too soon, my dear friend, Molly McGovern, the daughter of our colleague Congressman Jim McGovern and his beautiful wife, Lisa, and the sister of her very delightful brother, Patrick. I love all of the McGoverns, but Molly was special. Molly was very much my friend and someone who I loved watching live life. Despite a very rare cancer diagnosis, Molly's light just shined so bright. She made me, even as a Member of Congress, feel special. I watched her go abroad. I let her push me to do fun things, spending every single night of the Democratic Convention with her and her parents. Molly is going to be so missed, but her memory and her impact and who she was as an individual will live on. We will take care of her brother, we will watch out for her parents, and I will continue to toast her with an Aperol spritz. ____________________
