Happy Birthday, Dear Vanessa. You would be 60 if you were still here with us all.
I love you, miss you, and my only consolation is that you are there in Heaven with Jesus.

Dear God,
I trust you to help my mom and her family to be strong and positive, and to take care of the dear, dear lady who took part of my heart and soul when she left this world. She is loved by all those who were blessed by her beautiful spirit.

I do not know how I got through that first year you were gone. I love and miss you everyday. I know that you were my therapist and I was your client for 5 years. We laughed many times throughout those years, which was a form of therapy, too. Sometimes I feel you near me and am comforted by those times. I know in my heart that you are with God.

I will never forget her. She was a dear, loving, warm, and caring human being. My heart will never quite be the same for having her in my life. She was there for me when I needed her the most, and in her wisdom, she allowed me to begin to work things out for myself because she knew I could. I did not understand, at first, and it sometimes hurt, but she was telling me that she trusted me to get through whatever came my way. I love you so very much, Vanessa. I will miss you for the rest of my life. You left a soul stamp on me.

Oh my dearest sweet Vanessa. It hurts my soul to hear this news but I wanted to write this and to let everyone know how amazing of a woman she was. She helped me and some of the most deepest darkest toughest times of my life and has saved me from so many things. I loved her so very much and so grateful for the wisdom and knowledge that she was able to give me and help heal me. I'm going to miss your soft-spoken voice and your beautiful smile and you're uplifting words. No matter what was going on I could always contact you and you would be right there I've never met somebody that was so understanding and loving and non judgmental. You help blossom me into the person that I always wanted to be and you help me get through some of the toughest times in my life I truly am going to miss you deeply from my soul no one will ever be able to do what you have been able to do for me. I love you so very much and I hope you're resting peacefully and just know I will always think of you. Thank you for being one of the only people I could ever trust and confide in I wish I could still have that with you but God has you now and I know you're dancing in the heavens with the angels.❤
