Vanessa was in my first ever class I taught ! We were at Dyer School in 1966. She was a very quiet person willing to do anything at she own pace. She was a wonderful person and a great teacher for me, a first year teacher. She lived with her Grandmother Viola. I will cherish knowing her forever. Much love to Vanessa´s family and friends.
