Alma, I just thought of you
95 years this is wonderful.
Alma was my Supervisor at Essex County Juvenile Division (Old Court House 1990-1994.) Alma knew when you were missing from your desk and would let you know. Thank you for our time shared Alma, I’m Forever Grateful for You.
Family, I’m the young lady that spoke at Mom/Grandma’s Retirement Party
A young 20 year old during this time
and now a young Retired Law-Enforcement Officer, 2016 at the age of 42...Alma was a major part of my circle who inspired me. What a “Gem” you all had, she loved you so; her Grandson, Grandma would clean your picture she kept on her desk everyday; A GrandMother’s Love. Just a couple of “Fond Memories” of Alma; I have so many that’s forever in my heart
God Bless Alma, God Bless you all.

Alma was such an adorable, sweet, considerate, and kind person. She was loved by everyone in our group. I am a Golden Ager and I have been on many outings with her on the Fairfield town bus. She will forever be in heart ❤!
