When Selma was recognized by the Albany School District my wife Hannah, who was her nursing sidekick at Livingston, recalled her as Sally," the gal with sass." She was an excellent nurse ...of the old school...like my wife who cared for their patients and students with great skill and lots of love. Sally made sure that whether you were a patient, student or caregiver she would dispense advice ---welcome or not---along with wonderful nursing care. Her beloved Jack left her too soon. Bobby was her great joy and comfort. Every child born of woman should have the mother Sally was to Bobby. She ran the race to the full and now has her prize....the new Jerusalem where every tear will be wiped away and all things will be made new!
While Sally, the life-long Democrat, was frail at the end, her mind was as keen as ever. We can only surmise that when she saw the election of Republican Donald Trump as President she realized it was her time to go.
