THE SELMA AT 1503

Jane Fitzgerald has lived at The Selma for slightly more than seven years now. She is a quiet and demure woman–exceedingly wise, very well read, and wonderfully graceful in her manners.

When viewed in terms of accomplishments, her life would not be considered particularly special by today’s standards. But Jane Fitzgerald, a quiet resident of The Selma at 1503, is enormously successful.

Having mastered the art of contentment and happiness, Jane Fitzgerald is a woman of substance. Alone but never lonely, she knows what it means to live with much and to live with little. Having lost the love of her life in the second world war, she successfully managed a small farm, raised three decent children, endured long winters and blistering hot, bone-dry summers.

Now living on social security, Jane Fitzgerald is wealthy beyond measure–just not monetarily. She sits quietly and confidently; without restlessness or worry; patiently waiting for the day when she will be reunited with the one desire that still burns in her heart.
