She reminded us that being a politician in a time of some public cynicism about the political process was a high calling. one which called for continued enthusiasm. and the glow from her own dedication was infectious. She enriched our lives. and we have all grown a little more from knowing her and from working with her. It was symbolic of her career when she passed away suddenly that she was working to raise money for the District of Columbia Spanish Catholic Center. an organization aimed at providing newly arrived immigrant Hispanics with the most basic needs of shelter. food and clothing. as well as counseling to help them in their newly adopted country. and to give them a start in sharing in our American dream. Raquel will long be remembered for her great work. her selfless dedication to Hispanic causes. and for the historical role in helping us arrive at a position of increasing national prominence. Raquel will be missed by all of us.9
