I saw Vesta a few years ago at a place in Ontario, California. At that time the owner of the Jazz Cafe by the name of Benny produce the wonderful concert. I purchased Vesta's album and got a chance to talk to her for a few minutes and she autographed her album a for me.
I didn't realize that I knew her when we were little kids until I saw Unsung. Vesta moved on my street when I was a little kid. Her dad was on KGFJ radio news by the name of Hugh Williams. Vesta's name was Mary and she had two sisters named Margaret and the babies nickname was Peedee (unsure of the spelling). They had a nice mom who asked me and my best friend Phillip to go to the store for milk. We would visit and read stories and help babysit. Hugh became the first black news anchor. The family stayed a few years and returned to their original point of origin which I believe was Ohio. God Bless Vesta and her wonderful family. I enjoyed her great singing.

we r here but 4 such a tyme as wuz our beloved friend, vesta; an entertainer who defined and xpressed herself just what we felt through her music. "Congratulations" was a phenomenal hit that represented us when we xperienced failed relationships; nevertheless, restored hope in and sustained us ! She wuz Gods' property, He has reclaimed his child.

As I sit here in my quiet time, I reflect back to the evening I first heard and saw Vesta sing "Congratulations". From that moment on, I loved her spirit. It seemed she was singing from experience. Truly God is holding her and she is singing in the heavenly choir with her loved ones, friends, and famous aquaintences! We are reassured that she is smiling and happy. Family, friends, please....lift you heads...so she can see your beautuful faces! God bless you all and keep you is my fervent prayer!

May they find peace and comfort in their darkest hour. May Vesta truly be at peace and this songbird has a place in God's choir. Vesta, Thank You for leaving your fans with great memories of you and your music will forever live on. Her spirit and smile were just as beautiufl as she was. Gone to Soon, but Will Never be Forgotten. R.I.P. Sweet, Sweet, Vesta!
