“Mr. PFLUGER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy of Robert Wade Turner, who dedicated more than four decades of service to law enforcement in Coleman County, Texas. Robert Wade Turner began his law enforcement career on August 1, 1975, in Coleman, Texas, with the Coleman County Sheriff's Office, where he faithfully served his community for his entire career. On November 5, 1988, he was elected Sheriff, a position he held with distinction until his retirement on January 1, 2017. Over the course of 42 years in law enforcement, including 28 years as Sheriff, Robert embodied the highest standards of duty and honor. He was recognized as an honorably retired peace officer for the State of Texas. Robert Wade Turner passed away on Sunday, September 28, 2025. He is survived by his wife, Linda Turner, his son, Joe Turner, and his daughter, Ami Polston. Sheriff Turner leaves behind a legacy of selfless service, integrity, and dedication to the people of Coleman County. I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing his decades of honorable service to Texas and to our Nation. [[Page E932]] ____________________”

“Mr. PFLUGER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and celebrate the 150th anniversary of St. Mary's Episcopal Church in Lampasas, Texas. Founded in 1873 during the turbulent years of Reconstruction, St. Mary's has stood as a steadfast place of worship and community for a century and a half. From its beginnings under the leadership of Dr. Thomas S. Denny and a small group of faithful families, the church persevered through frontier hardships, local feuds, floods, and economic trials. Over the years, it has grown into a vibrant congregation rooted in service, tradition, and faith. The sanctuary itself, built of native limestone in the Victorian Gothic style, is a testament to the perseverance of its early leaders, including Capt. A.H. Barnes, Dr. James Bierbower, W.T. Campbell, T.H. Haynie, W.C. Price, and others whose dedication made possible the construction of a permanent church home. Generations of families, like the Campbells, the Haynies, the Richeys, the Olivers, and many more have sustained and enriched the life of St. Mary's across decades, ensuring its continued presence as a spiritual cornerstone of the Lampasas community. Today, St. Mary's remains a thriving parish, carrying forward its mission with more than a dozen families whose membership stretches back multiple generations, while also welcoming new parishioners who bring fresh perspectives and energy. Together, this congregation embodies the resilience, stability, and continuity that have defined St. Mary's since its founding. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring St. Mary's Episcopal Church for 150 years of faithful service to its members, the people of Lampasas, and the greater Central Texas region. May the congregation continue to serve as a beacon of hope, light, and grace for generations to come. ____________________”
