Vanessa was a wonderful lady. Her warm demeanor and joy for life was obvious from our first meeting years ago. I was never a stranger. When I would visit her home, she was ready with a hug and a smile. She loved to laugh. Doted on my son. Showed compassion when I grieved my mother's passing. Gave me the best gardening advice.
Every spring, we would laugh as I stood in awe of the hundreds of hummingbirds that would visit her back porch, and she was always open with her "secret syrup" recipe that attracted them. When we fished at the pond, she always wanted to know if we had any luck. I saw the love she had for those around her, and there was a deeper lesson in watching her enjoy the little moments we too often take for granted. I will always think of her when I see a hummingbird. My sincerest condolences to Stuart, Bekah, Ruby, and all others who loved her in this life.
