"The grace with which she ran the business, the grace with which she managed her life, the humor," Lopez recalled to Billboard around the 20th anniversary of Selena's death. "Her spirit of loving what she did. Her sense of family. It's the tragedy of everything that happened and why she left such a mark - because she was gone too soon. "
Lopez's third husband, Marc Anthony, knew Selena well.
"We were friends and colleagues, we started our careers at the same time," he reminded reporters in Miami in 2015, by Pulso Pop. "We were both born here [in the U.S.]. At first we struggled with our Spanish and learned to speak it together. "
Anthony added: "I had an incredible love for her. I think Selena shines because of the way she has handled her life, her talent, her career. The way she has represented us ... It's important that people continue to remember her as this figure. Many doors have opened the way for her to open them in the market where an American citizen can make a living singing in the Spanish and traditional music of his country. To this day we are still feeling the impact. You know? That's why for me it's an honor to say that I considered her a friend. "
