The lovely Miss Vanessa was one of the sweetest, kindest most loving people on the face of the planet. Her quite strength was so powerful and inspirational. Her kind heart was so full of love if you were in her presence, you could not help but feel the how much she cared. She is/was very much loved by all who knew her, and she will be missed immensely. Sending prayers of strength, peace, and love to those who she left behind and all who never had the chance to know her. She was truly an angel on earth. Fly high dear sweet Angel, know truly love you!

I'm glad that I met you in person, Vanessa. It was such a joy seeing you lovingly cradling Adriane's son, Jadon, who was one year old at the time. Since we were living in different cities, our contact consisted of exchanged messages and e-mails. I know that lately you were in pain, suffering from more than one ailment. Your passing freed you from your earthly aches, which is giving us some comfort. Your departure from this world breaks the hearts of all of us, especially Alex'. Your little brother will keep you in his thoughts forever.

Saying Goodbye

April 5, 2023
by Audrey Fernandez-Elliott
Yesterday I had to say goodbye to you for good and it was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. You came into my life when I was 6 years old and were the first baby I ever held. When you moved to Carbondale, I was heartbroken because of the huge void it left in my life. Then you came back and I had you in my life as a friend. Now you're gone again. 

My sister, my heart

How can I truly express the way I feel your absence, it's suffocating, guy wrenching and yet the joy and love you surrounded me with my whole life prevails. It warms my heart and fills my soul. I will miss and remember you always. I love you.

Vanessa was family. Not by blood, but by the connection I had to her brother, Aharon. They accepted me as their own family. I practically lived there for a good seven years. And still, when life les us in different directions, the once in a while visits felt like no time had passed. 

Vanessa had palpable laugh, the kind that you couldn’t help but feel her joy as your own. And she was her own person for sure, passionate about her hobbies. Her devotion as an auntie was unparalleled by anyone I’ve known. Her mother was her best friend, and vise versa. How many people can say that? What a beautiful connection! 

My heart goes out to her family. May you feel her presence emanate through the healing you share together, through honoring her life and how she was ablessing to us all.
