  Ms. STEVENS. Madam Speaker, I rise today in memory of Jeanne 
Sullivan, who passed away on November 24th after a courageous two-year 
battle with cancer.
   Jeanne was born in China and spent most of her childhood in Brazil 
and Montreal, Canada, before immigrating to the United States with her 
parents. She graduated from Boston University with a degree in 
Comparative Religion and spoke five languages fluently.
   In her free time, Jeanne read thousands of books and was an 
accomplished artist. Her home was filled with art, as well as projects 
for her church, community, and grandchildren. Loving wife, mother to 
her three children, Tamara, Pandi and Nick, and dedicated grandmother, 
she brought a sense of imagination and profound love to everyone she 
touched.
   Jeanne lived her life helping others and caring for the community 
around her. Even in her final days, she was thinking of others, and 
told her children that her greatest purpose in life was bringing joy to 
all people. Jeanne will always be remembered for her knowledge, spirit, 
and commitment to her community--all of which she passed down to her 
children.
