I had the privilege of meeting Selma when I worked in the Resident Life Department at Riderwood. We enjoyed a very close relationship when I managed the volunteer program and Selma was one of a valued team of volunteers who worked with me in my office. When I left 2 years ago, I regret not staying in close touch. Selma and Gil passed by my office several times a day for many years and I miss our conversations in the evening after their dinner. My condolences to your family. May Selma's life be of blessed memory. May she rest in peace. I would love to speak with her daughters whom I did meet during their visits to Riderwood.
