Thompson is unable to be
here today, as he has remained in his district in California this
evening to assist in wildfire relief and recovery efforts. I am, along
with the entire House of Representatives, praying for Mr. Thompson and
our fellow Americans in this time of need. A lifelong resident of Vallejo, California, and granddaughter of
Italian immigrants, Janet Capello took great pride in her heritage. Her
deepest passion was the Sons of Italy, an organization where she served
as a dedicated member of Lodge Number 1626 for over 63 years. She held two of the organization's most prestigious posts--vice
president of the Grand Lodge of California, and Secretary of the United
Lodges--and led efforts to bring the group's scholarship program to
Vallejo.
