Casey and family, I am so sorry to hear of Selena's passing. She and I worked together at Georgia Northwestern Technical College. She was a professional and had a strong work ethic. She was a lovely coworker and friend and was well-liked. My thoughts and prayers are with you and her family. I am currently out of town and will be unable to attend the services for which I am very sad. Cathy Pruitt Vann
