                        Tuesday, April 17, 2018

  Mr. HASTINGS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to mourn the passing of my 
dear friend Lottie Albert. Lottie was born on December 25, 1915 to Eva 
and Louis Wernick in New York City. Twenty-one years later, Lottie 
married Sol Albert and the two enjoyed 55 years of marriage, and have 
two lovely daughters, Harriet and Doreen. Lottie was the loving 
grandmother to Eric, Glenn, and Lowell, as well as a great-grandmother 
to Kyle, Samantha, Heather, and Seth.
  Lottie was a resident and community leader of Broward County for over 
40 years. It has been my honor to see Lottie's commitment and passion 
for serving her community. She was an amazing individual, who dedicated 
herself to helping so many throughout South Florida.
  In 1988, she was inducted into the Area Agency on Aging's Dr. Nan S. 
Hutchinson Broward Senior Hall of Fame. Additionally, Broward County 
honored Lottie in 2005 by declaring November 12th as ``Lottie Albert 
Appreciation Day.''
  In 2012, Lottie was inducted into the Broward County Women's Hall of 
Fame for her work with the Ann Storck Children's Center, the Elderly 
Interest Fund's MEDIVAN Program, and the Alzheimer's Family Center.
  Mr. Speaker, Lottie was an extraordinary friend. She helped me at 
every stage of my career, never wavering, never faltering. On good days 
and bad days, I knew Lottie would be there for me as she was for so 
many of us. Her advice, wisdom, humor, and vast knowledge of life will 
be sorely missed.
