                       RECOGNIZING LINDA HOULDIN

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. PATRICK MEEHAN

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 5, 2018

  Mr. MEEHAN. Mr. Speaker, today I posthumously recognize Linda Houldin 
of Newtown Square, Pennsylvania. Linda was a longtime resident of 
Delaware County and a pillar of her community.
  She served as the Executive Director of the Delaware County 
Historical Society and co-founded the Delaware County Veterans 
Memorial. Linda's countless hours spent helping others left a profound 
and undeniable impact on everyone around her and the community she 
loved. She was a strong, passionate, and dedicated woman who touched 
many lives--particularly veterans, children, and society's most 
vulnerable.
  Linda is to be inducted into the Delaware County Women's Commission 
Hall of Fame, and rightfully so. She showed us how an individual with 
energy and commitment to community can enrich the lives of friends and 
strangers alike.
  Her absence will be felt by those who knew her and the many she 
helped through her generosity and service.
