Our deepest condolences to all the family members of Salwa. She was a very wonderful, loving & caring person just like her husband was. They always put their family & other people ahead of themselves. May God bless all of you in your time of sorrow.I got to know the whole family personally because we lived at 173 Tilghman St. On the first floor & they were our landlords. The whole family are very nice people who would help anyone like they helped my family many of times. May she rest in peace with her husband & the lord.
