HONORING THE MEMORY OF SAMANTHA "SAMMY" SCHERBA

Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 71 (Tuesday, April 29, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 71 (Tuesday, April 29, 2025)] [House] [Page H1693] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING THE MEMORY OF SAMANTHA ``SAMMY'' SCHERBA (Mr. MILLER of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. MILLER of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of Samantha ``Sammy'' Scherba. Sammy was just 28 when we lost her, a vibrant, artistic soul whose light touched every life that she encountered. She had a massive heart, big enough to embrace the entire world. Whether it was people, animals, or even the tiniest of insects, Sammy believed that every living thing deserved love and compassion. She brought life back into withering plants and turned simple stones into stunning works of art. In the end, she gave the ultimate gift: life to others through organ donation. At her honor walk at the Cleveland Clinic, more than 150 people lined the halls, a testament to her impact. Sammy was a daughter, a sister, an aunt, and a friend. She loved deeply, and she was loved deeply. I honor her family who are here today, who flew in from my district, Ohio 7. May God bless her memory. ____________________
