My condolences to the family. This is always something hard to go through. I knew little of Venessa, however, I did know her. I pray for the family and friends.

I remember Vanessa from attending the Alternative Otsego High School with her. We had a class-made yearbook with “Quotable Quotes” at the end like the Reader’s Digest. She always had the funniest quotes and always had a smart response for anything you had to say. Even though we were never close at all, I will always remember you, Vanessa, along with all the other classmates and people we grew up with through school that have been lost in their young years. Rest in peace.

We met Vanessa online. Instantly we became best of friends. For the past 3 years she has been a big part of our life. She is family to us. We love her so much and losing her has left a big gaping hole in our hearts and our family. We love you “BB”. forever!
Rest In Peace Beautiful

I had the privilege and honor of being a very close friend to Vanessa (BB was her nickname I gave her). She was the kind of person you don’t meet often, so smart, funny, generous, she’d do anything for a friend, just the best kind of friend anyone could ask for. I know your around BB so you know how much me and Lexi miss and love you and are so grateful you were in our lives.

She won’t be forgotten.
