Vanessa had an infectious smile and was easy to talk to that made feel comfortable. Although I knew Vanessa for a blink of an eye, I feel such a great loss at hearing of her passing. My heartfelt and deepest of sympathies to her daughters, family and friends. I will miss her and always keep Vanessa in my thoughts and prayers. My heart aches.

When I had Tyrell that day just a week old and passed him over the fence for Vanessa to hold. I could never imagine that we would grow and eventually became family. I always admired Vanessa for her bright outlook on life. An amazing mom😊 Always a happy perspective change on any topic we discussed. My last visit in December, I was able to meet Courtney.
