It is with profound sadness, mr. Speaker, that i share the news that a great friend and Public Servant has passed away. Darell Ann Pennington was a dear friend, trusted member of my staff, and tireless advocate for marylands Fifth District. For the past 12 years he saved as a case worker in my office in green belt, maryland, serving prince georges county, culvert county and anne arundel county. She had worked for earl yes state senator. Mr. Speaker, she knew the Fifth District and communities better than almost anyone. And she cared deeply about the people who called, emailed, and wrote to us asking for assistance with federal agencies and help accessing government services. In particular, she was a fierce advocate for our district seniors. But she was also a mentor to countless young people, including interns who came to our District Office and learned lessons from her not only about serving our constituents but how to approach life through perseverance, faith, and positivity.
