    There are not enough words to say how Vanessa shared her life with so many friends & families. I am so sorry she left us so soon. I pray her sons will find peace in knowing she gave her heart to God & has joined her loved ones in heaven. God bless her boys, her grandchildren, her sisters, and many other relatives & friends. We will miss you!!
