Vanessa, I miss you everyday. I wish I would see your name pop up on my phone one last time. I miss our late night phone calls. I miss game nights with you and Cam. I miss how you always made sure I had eaten dinner. I miss how even on my worst days at work and in life, you always made me laugh and smile. I will think of you forever.😞💜
