Dear Family of Selena,
We are deeply sorry to hear of Selena's passing. We remember her fondly especially our trips camping at up in North Florida. And her marriage to Chuck. Right after, we all lost touch with Selena and Chuck. Diabetes is a terrible disease, I see it at my work everyday at the hospital. We will remember Selena always in our hearts. God Bless you and your family and friends at this time.
