                  REMEMBERING BERNICE AND SYLVAN SIMON

  Mr. CASEY. Mr. President, I wish to pay tribute to Bernice and Sylvan 
Simon. Bernice and Sylvan were 2 of the 11 people who were violently 
killed at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh's Squirrel Hill 
neighborhood.
  Bernice and Sylvan Simon were devoted to each other and did 
everything together. Longtime members of the Tree of Life congregation, 
their life together began when they were married there in 1956 and it 
ended there over 60 years later, but those intervening years were years 
of joy, service, family, and love. That love and devotion served as an 
inspiration to their children and grandchildren, who hope that it will 
now serve as an example for all of us.
  Today let us remember the great love Bernice and Sylvan Simon shared 
and carry it forth in our own lives and for the rest of our days.
