I'm so sad to hear that Vanessa has left us. I always loved her input & sweet ways. I'm so very glad that I got the opportunity to get to know her on the Her2 site. So many times when I check in I look for those familiar "names" to check out what their doing, thinking, and feeling. Vanessa so easily shared all of those with us. I know that her family feels blessed to have had her in their lives. Condolences to her family and friends. thank you for letting us know. I'm grateful for every year we all have together...to learn from each other, cheer each other up, and to love each other thru the tough times. Luv to all, ma
