Just reflecting on our Predestined Women’s Ministry days how God would come in a sweep through the room am you were right there to receive. Vanessa, we sang together, prayed together and even screamed together. All to the glory of God. I know you’re resting in His arms now. Family I am praying for you.

Aunt Nessa, You were more like my big sister than my Aunt and my favorite aunt at that. I'll never forget how you always stood up for me and protected me. More that than you provided me with my first best friend outside of my sibling group, your son, the late Anthony L Brown. I am eternally grateful for you , your love and all the fond memories that I will forever cherish. Till we meet again.
