To Barbara, Preston and the rest of Vanessa’s family I am deeply sorry for your loss. My heart breaks for all of you! I can speak from recent experience, there is nothing to compare to losing your mom. It is a void that can’t be filled. I only knew Vanessa briefly during my childhood, but I remember she was always kind to me and and seemed to be so happy with a smile on her face or laughing. These are the type of memories you need to hold on to and cherish. May God surround you with His presence and comfort and strengthen you during this difficult time. My prayers are with you!
