             HONORING THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF LOTTIE ALBERT

  (Mr. HASTINGS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  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. The two 
enjoyed 55 years of marriage and have two lovely daughters, my friends, 
Harriet and Doreen. Lottie was the loving grandmother to Eric, Glenn, 
and Lowell, as well as the 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 her by declaring November 12 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.
  Mr. Speaker, Lottie was an extraordinary friend of mine. 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.
