I can't begin to express how saddened I am for your loss. The minute I met Vanessa I knew she was special. That smile, those sparkling eyes and her truly kind soul lit up the room. I'm grateful I was able to get to know her beyond the classroom and to see the beautiful young woman she became. I'll cherish my memories of Vanessa as I know you will. My prayers are with you today, tomorrow and in the future.
