I grew up with Selena in the Bronx, 423 Wester Ave. she was such a sweet girl and will truly be missed. My condolences to the family. You are all in my prayers. Sleep in peace beautiful 🙏🏽
I had the pleasure of meeting Selena back in 2000. We connected immediately! Our boyster attended the same school and at some point we worked together in the after school program and was also the assistant coach to our cheerleadibg team. Selena was always a joy to have around. We had some really great laughs. When she moved to Indiana her presence was missed, at work, with the cheerleaders and in my life as well. It so hard to come to terms with your loss and I know it’s even harder for your family. I pray many blessings over all of you and ask that GOD helps you through this rough time. I wish I can be there. Love you chica!
Words can not even come to mind to express my feelings and thoughts… Selena we met during a time where we both were starting this adventure called life. 132x(elementary school) was where we met and we hung out together…I had a sister that I never had… your family welcomed me as another addition. If i was not in your house, then you was in mines. I think of all the fun and good times we had… I remember when we were trying to teach you cheers in 132 park… that was funny. You will always be in my heart, you will be missed. I remembered Ieshea and I coming to your first baby shower…as I’m writing these words my heart is hurting… you were so sweet, caring and loving. You are at peace and I will always keep your family in my prayers… I promise.
Words cannot express how sad I am. I miss you and now even more. You were real and honest you were Selena. Nothing could ever change that. I remember when we came to NY or your family to NJ. Staying up late talking and stuff. Holding on to memories even more. Know that I love you and I always will. You left us to soon but you left behind a legacy. Rest In Peace my NY cousin. Love Valarie your NJ cousin
Selena our friendship started in the 3rd grade. I remember when you moved to Webster with your mom and sisters. I was happy to have a new friend. We experienced so many good times together. You was a free spirit then and I admired that about you. My heart aches knowing you’re not here in the flesh anymore but you’ll forever be here in spirit and in my heart. As we said forever friends….💗. Love you Lena I’ll cherish the memories.
Selena you will be misses more than you’ll ever know. Sending love your way. Rip honey

It feels so unreal you are gone, like you will be posting a rant on facebook soon and none of this will be true. But sadly it is, and it’s hard to look past this because you won’t be there to hold our hands and help us through this. Because this time it’s you who we are having to let go and I don’t want to. I don’t want to at all. I miss you.
May you rest in peace. 🌸
U Will be truly missed sister I love u and will forever keep u n my heart as longs as it beats we been friends a long time and I Will cherish our friendship and I will cherish you always. Sleep in peace
