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
