                 HONORING THE LIFE OF SHARON ERICHSRUD

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Minnesota (Mr. Emmer) for 30 seconds.
  Mr. EMMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Sharon 
Erichsrud, who passed away in March at the age of 79. She was a loving 
mother, devoted wife, and lifelong Minnesotan.
  Sharon was born in 1941 in Frost, Minnesota. She attended Frost High 
School, where she met Butch, her husband of 60 years. After graduation, 
she went on to work at 3M and several banks in the Blue Earth area, 
eventually becoming bank manager at Albert Lea Savings and Loan.
  Sharon and Butch are parents of three children, Beth, Shelly, and 
Mark of St. Michael-Albertville, who gave them five children and four 
great-grandchildren.
  Sharon was adored by her family, who remember her as a voracious 
reader and a pillar of her community at Trinity Lutheran Church.
  Sharon was a beloved member of our Minnesota community. May her 
memory be a blessing.
