                      REMEMBERING NIEVES OLEMBERG

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise with a heavy heart to recognize 
and remember a wonderful woman from south Florida who was taken from 
this Earth too soon, Nieves Olemberg.
  Nieves passed away last month at age 79 following a tragic car 
accident. She is survived by her loving husband, Isaac; their children, 
Roberto, Lily, Hannah, and Lisette; and grandchildren, Rachel, Aaron, 
Jacqueline, David, Daniel, and Samuel.
  Beyond her noted devotion to her family, Nieves was a pillar of the 
south Florida Jewish community. She was a founding member and president 
of Hadassah's Inter-American Chapter, and was also actively involved 
with the Greater Miami Jewish Federation and the Hebrew Academy.
  Nieves will be greatly missed, but her generosity and kindhearted 
soul will forever leave an enduring imprint on our community. May her 
memory be a blessing.
