    I had the privilege of meeting Alma when my aunt, Lillian Hall, was a resident of Atria. I found Alma to be a very dear, caring, loving and compassionate lady. And Alma and I were ‘birthday twins’!

    We saw Alma’s obituary in the Ridgewood News today and were so saddened to read about her passing. She was a kind, considerate and wonderful friend for all of the years that we knew her in Ridgewood.
