Mr. Speaker. it is with great pride that I rise tonight to honor my mother. Juana Sequeira Solis. who celebrated her 80th birthday yesterday. My mom was bom in Jinotega. Nicaragua. on June 5. 1928. to Ramon Sequeira Arauz and Lucia Diaz M6eller. As a young child. she faced many obstacles due to the death of her father Ramon. At the age of 17. she immigrated to the United States and resided for a time in New Orleans. LA. After a few years. she moved to Los Angeles. CA. where she met her husband Raul Sanchez Solis. They married in 1953. and had 7 children. which led to 10 grandchildren. and 7 greatgrandchildren.
