Speaker, I rise to celebrate the life of one of my
constituents, Michelle Vo, who lost her life in Sunday's mass shooting
in Las Vegas. Michelle was described by her friends and family as an ambitious,
hard worker, known for her charisma and fierce independence. She
embodied the American Dream in every single way. Her middle name, My,
means ``America'' in Vietnamese. Her mother emigrated from Vietnam and raised Michelle and her sisters
near San Jose. Michelle would go on to graduate from UC Davis before
moving to Eagle Rock, in my district, to work as an insurance agent in
nearby Pasadena. My heart goes out to Michelle Vo, her family and friends, and the
other victims of the Las Vegas shooting.
