While we all grieve Aunt Selma's passing on this earth, it's comforting to know that her sadness, pain and suffering are over and she's now gloriously with Jesus, Uncle Clark and all the others of the family who have gone before. Our memories of her laughter, vegetable gardens, flowers and love of music will always bring a smile.

Selma was not only a remarkable individual but a very dear aunt. I will always remember fondly the influence she and Uncle Clark contributed to my life as well as the other children in the family. She taught me many things about life -- sharing wonderful recipes, helping with sewing projects, gardening, botanicals, etc. We will miss her greatly, as we have missed Uncle Clark for many years. However, we find comfort in knowing they are now reunited in an eternal life.
