ravaged Lee County on March 3, 2019.
  Of the 23 who died, their ages range from 6 years old to 89 years 
old. Four of the victims were children, four victims were two sets of 
couples engaged to be married and 10 victims were part of one family. 
The following names are those who lost their lives:

Tate Stenson, 63; Henry Lewis Stenson, 65; James Henry Tate, 86; Maggie 
Delight Robinson, 57; Raymond Robinson, Jr., 63; Tresia Robinson, 62; 
Emmanuel Jones, 53; Jimmy Lee Jones, 89; Mary Louise Jones, 83.
  Jonathan Marquez Bowen, 9; Mykhala Waldon, 8; Taylor Thornton, 10;

  Madam Speaker, please join me in remembering these 23 victims and 
praying for the families and friends they left behind and recognizing 
the brave First Responders across the area. It has been amazing to see 
Alabamians come together to support Lee County after this tragedy.
