Matt and Family,
We have not known you and Sena very long, but knew from the first meet that she was a sweet, caring, loving person. Her outlook on life and positive attitude in all things was an inspiration to all who knew her. With you always at her side Matt, she fought courageously and lived each day, looking forward to the next. She has gone on to her heavenly reward and taking her place with the angels. "And he will raise you up on eagles wings, bear you on the breath if dawn. Make you to shine like the sun. And hold you in the palm of His hand." You are in our prayers.

Life has changed forever again, and Sena will be truly missed. I have always admired her strength, spirit, intelligence and faith she showed. A strong voice is silenced but I hope I will always be able to hear her in my mind. She helped me so much in my times of need. I know she has gone to heaven to meet with our parents.

I apologize that I won't be able to pay my respects in person.

God has an Angel that will truly be missed. Sena not only was a great wife, mother and grandmother, she was truly a very special person! I was blessed to have her be part of my life! Sena will be missed everyday.

Matt:
I am so sorry to hear of Sena's passing. I haven't seen her for a long time, but as a nurse she has touched a lot of people's lives and will be fondly remembered. The pain of her loss will never go away, but in time you will smile as you remember all the good times and pleasant memories.
