“I will miss my girlfriend, Selma. She and I were friends from our teenage days, to today. We had many happy times together, along with Robbie and my dear friend Aaron. I will treasure those memories. For all the family who remain, she was so proud of all of you and so happy to have been at weddings and celebrate births of her grandchildren and great grandchild. To quote her. "I had a wonderful life". May all your happy memories comfort you at this sad time. SISSY (Silverman)Nicholson”
