                         Tuesday, March 1, 2022

  Mr. DONALDS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to extend my sincerest 
congratulations in honor of Rochelle Berman, affectionately known by 
her family as ``Bubbi,'' who recently celebrated her 90th birthday. 
Born on November 3, 1931 to Jacob and Rose Sattler, Rochelle was raised 
in Milwaukee, Wisconsin alongside her brother, Robert ``Bobby'' 
Sattler, a World War II veteran. Rochelle graduated from the University 
of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 1953 and became a teacher for the 3rd and 4th 
grades.
  In 1956, Rochelle met her future husband Alexander (Al) Berman. After 
a first date to Disneyland, Rochelle and Alexander were later married 
on July 14, 1957. Rochelle and Al had 3 children together: James 
(Jimmy), Janet, and Gary. Rochelle is the matriarch of the Berman 
family: grandmother to 11 and great-grandmother (or ``Bibi'') to 3. 
Jimmy and his late wife Marla had three kids together: Allison, Leigh, 
and David. Jimmy went on to marry Jayne and welcomed Lauren and Lexi 
into the family. Janet built a family with Jay Miller and together they 
have three children: Tova, Ezra, and Miriam; two sons-in-law: Shmuelli 
and Zevy; and three grandchildren:

Rafi, Dani, and Eli. Gary married Jennifer and together they had Mia, 
Josie, and Elliot. Rochelle's family continues to grow, with Ezra's 
recent engagement to Ariella. And of course, we can't forget Rochelle's 
love of dogs and her furry family members, past and present: Buddy, 
Oscar, Sunny, B.J., Cooper, Bailey, Becker, and Hercules.
  Splitting time between Marco Island, Florida, in my district, and 
Mequon, Wisconsin, Rochelle has lived a life filled with love, friends, 
and family. Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues in the U.S. House of 
Representatives to join me in honoring an outstanding citizen, mother, 
grandmother, great-grandmother, and cherished friend, Ms. Rochelle 
Berman, for the inspiring life that she leads. We extend our best 
wishes to her as she, her family, and friends celebrate her 90th 
birthday.
