          HONORING THE PASSING OF ARIZONA TEACHER, CATHY CANEZ

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. TOM O'HALLERAN

                               of arizona

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, November 1, 2019

  Mr. O'HALLERAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay my respects to 
Cathy Canez, a special education teacher from my district, who passed 
away earlier this year in a tragic accident.
  Cathy was a beloved teacher, friend, and community member in the 
Miami unified school district for more than 25 years.
  Her kindness, sense of humor, and dedication to the success of her 
students has allowed her legacy and impact to reach beyond the 
classroom.
  I've been married to a teacher for fifty years; I saw how hard my 
wife Pat worked to educate young people and improve their lives 
holistically.
  Teachers have one of the most important jobs in our society, and a 
great teacher like Cathy had the power to affect the lives of so many.
  Cathy was taken from us too soon.
  Arizona has lost an incredible role model and educator, but I know 
she will not soon be forgotten.
