Selma Morgen Thomas

Dear Selma:
You are one of the all time greats. Creative and colorful. The most sensible one among us. A treat to share pizza and popcorn with. I adore you!
There are a few people as special as you, Selma.
I also always witnessed endless sisterly love for you, from your sister, Margaret. Who tirelessly engaged you. We love you so much, for the blessing you have been in our lives. I love you, always, dear! You are truly missed, thank you for being in our lives.

P.S. Time with you was always special. P.P.S. I know your Mom is looking down upon you lovingly, one of the stars in the night sky, and love from the moon. She really loved you. Love you, Sellie!

Here are some photos Deb took during the Celebration of Life.

I met Selma once, she had such an adorable smile! I had a job interview that day, running up and down the stairs to pick up the things I forgot, feeling stressed out and overwhelmed. Selma was sitting on the couch peacefully watching me. Every time she saw me, she waved her hand and said "Hi" with a cute smile! She made my day that day and I got the job, feeling peaceful inside!
She was pure love

Selma brought us all together. My condolences Margaret. What a beautiful celebration. I love Selma`s art!!

The memorial painted a beautiful illustration of a woman who had a fierceness of heart and left a legacy of kindness. Margaret´s love and care of her inspired all of us to do the same. God bless you Selma, thank you for the impact you´ve had on my heart and the lives you touched along the way. Love you Margaret.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

What a beautiful tribute to such a joy-filled life!! Love Annie and Win

What a lovely celebration of a beautiful, sweet life. Thank you so much for including me and sharing and these amazing memories of your sweet sister.

Love, Heidi

I got to meet Selma I´ve the Holidays in Palm Springs. It was a lovely trip.

Selma has done art with me for years, and she was one of the brightest things in my day at work, and a big reason why I love what I do. She will be sorely missed by all of us at Marin Ventures, staff and participants alike.

When I think of Selma, I think of the three of us snuggled up on the couch watching a movie or going to the movie theater together. Almost stealth-like, she´d sometimes reach over and take my hand. I also smile when I remember discovering the artwork Selma had made out of some random piece of paperwork I had brought with with me at the time. Likewise, no magazine in the vicinity was safe from Selma´s artful influence. Everything was a canvas to Selma. Selma exuded grace and acceptance and seemed oblivious to my shortcomings. Now that I reflect on it, I think that by just being who she was, Selma´s finest expressions were on the canvases of other people´s hearts. Her gentleness and love painted over those hard or dried out spots leaving behind a softer, more colorful loving individual. I´m grateful for the brush strokes she painted on mine.

Margaret, my deep condolences. You gave Selma so much. She had a wonderful life; your love for her was ever-present.

Dear Margaret,
I am so sorry for the loss of your wonderful sister, Selma. Please accept my condolences. My thoughts are with you and your family.
With Love,
Sylviane

Much love to you Margaret and all who knew and loved Selma. She was such a beautiful soul and I feel so lucky that the boys and I got to know and see her magic. She was a bright light and was so loved

One word = toast! Selma loved toast! And not burnt toast :)

I am so sorry for your loss, Margaret. Sending much love and condolences. Jill Baron
