Vanessa was always the sweetest person! Her soul was precious and pure! She loved deeply and was loved deeply! I was blessed to have known her and all her family! This is not goodbye this is I'll see you later! God bless your soul! Praying for the family, we love you all! 

Vanessa was so faithful. I can imagine Jesus saying to her: Well done, my good and faithful servant!
No more pain, no more tears!!
Dear Family, you have my deepest sympathy and prayers. God will see you through this sorrow. 
With love, Prudie 

She was an amazing woman. I remember when she used to babysit my brother Bobby, my sister Rosa and me. She used to watch wrestling with us, such wonderful memories.  You will be missed. God bless her soul. 🕊❤️🙏🏽✝️ 

I remember Vanessa from Ridgewood , Queens. We were neighbors. She was always so attentive to my children. Such a sweetheart. May she Rest In Peace.  The Narvaez family.  

She was one of those people who just can light up a room.  She would always give me a big hug and make sure I was doing ok.  We would talk about everything and anything.  That's just how she was.  I will miss her and her scooter.  And her little dog in the basket.  I am blessed to have known her.

Hey prima. This is so unreal and heartbreaking. I'm so, so, sorry for your loss. It hurts because we are Familia and we are so far and we can't be there for you and titi, but know in your hearts that we love you guys and she will be dearly missed. May her soul rest in Peace and God received her with arms wide open!! Also,  may you and the family have courage, strength and peace to overcome this loss 😢. My Prayers for the FAMILIA!! She was gone too soon but never forgotten!! Till we meet again, prima🙏🏼😭 tu prima Rosa and the Velazquez family.

Vanessa was a joy to know…She always had a positive attitude and a great outlook..Sorry to hear of her passing…

It was our honor to have known and loved and been loved by Vanessa.   Hold on dear family - her faith is now sight and you’ll be reunited!

There is no words to express how I feel, 
You were my best friend, our best friend. 
Not a day went by where you didn’t call, just to say hello. 
Jasper will forever remember you as his first love. 
We love you Titi, 
Forever and ever. 

To say that you will be missed is an understatement. Our world will never be the same. 

To the woman who was our #1 fan/cheerleader, who never forgot a birthday, who was always around to tell us that we were loved, who loved her family more than anything else:  we hope you know that you were loved beyond measure. 

I knew Vanessa for a little while .  She came into my shop and adopted her sweet little fur baby Candy from us that I also groomed for her . Candy was neglected by her previous owners and Vanessa just had to have her.  She took such good care of her. She was such a kind spirit . Always asked how I was doing and how my mom and kids were doing . I did get to spend a few of her last days with her because she came to where I work to do some rehab after her surgery . I got to give her some hugs before she left this earth . I will miss seeing her smiles at work for sure . My heart goes out to her family and friends . 

Gonna miss you Vanessa, but will see you in heaven!! We will never longer be in these wheelchairs, I will race you on the streets of gold, and you know in heaven there will not be any losers just all winners
  Then then you will be in my heart!!
