Vielka Victoria Holness

She maintained a professional presence

Vielka was inspiring. Her being from Ecuadorian roots I bet she worked hard in order to prevail in NYC. I can say she never judged anyone, everyone had a fair advantage in her programs. She will be missed.

Judy,
Even though it's been 4 years, it seems like yesterday that Vielka left us. Her spirit lives on in all who knew and loved her, and in all whom she inspired to achieve greater goals in life. I love her and miss her. I know grief has no schedule, so love and do and be in her memory and in her love for you. xoxoxo, Marguerite

Rest in peace, sweet lady.

My heart is broken. I met Vielka in1995; she was my advisor at Cardozo Law School. During my career, she gave me loads of great advice and support. We became friends. She was a treasure, and devoted to helping others. And, her smile lit up the world. I was shocked and saddened to hear the news today. The sun feels dimmer. Much love to Judy and her family.

You left us too soon V. See you again for a good, long chat and laughs.

I am deeply saddened by the news of Vielka's passing. Although she passed too soon, she has devoted her life to empowering the lives of others, giving them opportunities, and supporting them. During the time that we worked together at JJay, I saw her effort in working with students every day. Vielka leaves an example for us to follow. Rest in peace.

i am deeply sorry for your loss james 4-8 draw close to and he will draw close to you
