Madam Speaker, it is with a heavy heart that I rise to memorialize the lives of Justin Anderson, Travis Cale, Lauren Mahon, Cassidy Pendley, William Rhea, Allison Walden, all students at the University of South Carolina, of which I proudly represent here in this body, and Emily Yelton, a student of Clemson University.
Madam Speaker, when young men and women go off to pursue an education, their families hope for them a bright future and a long life. All seven of these young men and women lost their lives in a fire this weekend and I join with those that I represent at the University of South Carolina in offering condolences to these families. And I also say to the families of Clemson University, our heart goes out to all of them.
Madam Speaker, I ask that you and this body join me in just a moment of silence in memory of these young people.
[Moment of Silence]
Thank you, Madam Speaker.
