Vanessa watched my daughter Toni. That is she taught her things, took her on little adventures like picnics in the park and kept her safe every day while I worked. Later there were overnights when Nessa lived at the Y. Vanessa sure did love some kids! So sad that she is gone.

I still can't believe that you are gone. You were one of my best friends that I called my big sister. We always kept each other laughing. I'm going to miss those four words you would always say to me "You're so silly VondaK!" I Love and miss you Vanessa Ann! And to the Greene Family, may God comfort each and everyone of you at this difficult time.
