Vanessa was my child. She was always straightforward. There are so many memories, but one about which I often smile is on baccalaureate Sunday many years ago, she walked up to me because my hair was in a French roll and said, "You need to go see my momma!" I have had many laughs about that one. Jacqueline Harper
