I am saddened by Vanessa's passing! She was in the high school band, with me. And she was a lovely person. Prayers for her family.

I will always remember you. We started school together at Thornville all the way thru high school, and also in band and Drivers Ed. You were always a class act. So happy we connected again on Facebook. I will see you again in the Glory.
