To Selma's Family,
I had the absolute pleasure of knowing and working with Selma at the Department of Taxation & Finance. She was spitfire to say the least. Even though I never met her husband and family I always recall her speaking of them. I used to love the way she spoke of Leonard, too funny. ... Selma was one in a million. No grass grew under that woman's feet at work. She was always dressed to the nines and always brought joy and laughter to everyone she encountered with her many stories. ... She was truly a gem!
Rest in Peace Selma!!!
