Vanessa Navarro Obituary

Navarro, Vanessa Nicole
Vanessa Nicole Navarro of Tolleson, born December 27, 1982, lost her long battle with her illness at the age of 27 on October 9, 2010. She is survived by her mother, Lydia Navarro, brother Kendal Mays, half-brother Tony Foster, Grandmothers Nellie Navarro and Gloria Foster, uncles, aunts, numerous cousins, god-daughter and friends. We will deeply miss and never forget her unique personality, her love for music, children and her dog, Woody. A viewing will be held on Thursday, October 14, from 5-8 p.m. at Blessed Sacrament Church in Tolleson. A Funeral Mass will be held for our beloved Vanessa on Friday, October 15 at 10 a.m. at Blessed Sacrament Church. Interment will be at Holy Cross Cemetery following the mass. A heartfelt thank you to all those who have kept her in their thoughts and prayers. Vanessa was so loved and we look forward to the time when we will dance together again. We love you Net and we know that you will be 'Just Fine'.
