Dear Yvonne,
I hope that you remember me - Allison from the Newcomb Alumnae Office. I remember how kind you and Judge Saloom were to me during my years as alumnae director and while you were on the alumnae board. I know that you will find comfort in the love of family and friends at this time. Sending you my sincere sympathies and prayers.

Judge Salooms life has spoken for him! He lived a long one of faithful service to his family and community. I will forever be grateful for our paths having crossed many many years ago which resulted in a genuine friendship. My prayer is extended to the family,that God would heal your hurting hearts. Your dad was a great man. From our family to yours, please accept our condolences. Ernest Nabers Jr

My deepest Sympathy to the Family. My thoughts and Prayers are with you all.

I met Judge Saloom a few years back. Such a gracious and humble man. I know he had a reputation of being tough, but also fair. I had immediate admiration for him without even know much more of his past than what he had shared at the event I was attending. Well deserving of all of the praise he has received.
