I only know Vanessa through her sister Becky. But from all Becky has told me about her the community is losing a wonderful human being. I know that her sister will be missing her very much.

Vanessa and I were co-workers for a time. It didn't matter what was happening, there was always a smile on her face and she had a way of bringing joy just when it was most needed. My prayers and thoughts are with the family at this time.

I had the previledge of working with Vanessa and becoming acquainted with her at Westaff. We as well as our pastor and Windsor Christian have held her and her family in prayer for these last 8 years. What a survivor Vanessa was.

Vanessa was one of the strongest, bravest people I have ever had the honor to know. Throughout her long battle she could still keep a smile on her face. Even though I wish she could have stayed I am glad to know that she is no longer facing the pain she has endured for so long. I am sure her reunion with LuAnn was a great one.

My sympathy goes out to Bob and the entire family as I know they will miss her terribly. She loved them all very much. Remember all of the wonderful memories of Vanessa and what a beautiful person she was.
