To the family of Selena Ware I offer my sincere and deepest condolences on the loss of this wonderful lady. Selena was president of the choir for a time when I was Minister of Music at Ebenezer.

To the family of Salena L. Ware: sending my deepest condolences from the Taliaferro family.

In high school, I lived across the street from Salena on Garland. We had so much fun on the weekends with Karen, Weldon, Salena and myself - doing really fun and crazy things...Weldon drove his father's car and we laughed at lot! She was a serious and very studious person but had such a fun side! I also worked at Dominion and when she made those rare and quick office visits when she had a meeting in my building, she always had the same wonderful smile. I will miss that. Rest in Peace

To the Ware family, so sorry for the loss of your loved one. May the "God of comfort" be with you at this time. - 2 Cor. 1:3, 4. You have my deepest sympathy. ~ Desiney Lowery

So sorry to lose such a great person. Glad to have worked with her several years at Dominion. Many Prayers

Dennis Sollars

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
