Vanessa you are missed a great deal I always think of you I wish that I knew your children so that I could help them along the way in life because it is not the same without your mother or father being there when there is good times and bad times life is a struggle and these days it is quite difficult for a lot of us especially when you cannot pick up the phone and call Love You

Vanessa was like a big sister to me, no matter how long it had been since I’d seen her she always greeted me with a warm hug & whispered some kind words. She’s truly a light to all those that knew her, she’ll be greatly missed
