<div>️ In Loving Memory of Vanessa ️
</div>
<div>There are no words that can truly prepare a family for the pain of losing someone they love. On August 9, 2026, we lost Vanessa far too soon and in a way no family should ever have to experience. Her life was tragically taken due to domestic violence, leaving behind a heartbroken family and, most painfully, her two beloved boys.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Vanessa was so much more than a daughter, a sister, and a mother. She was a light in the lives of everyone who knew her. She had a smile that could brighten even the darkest room and a laugh so contagious that, for a moment, you could forget whatever pain you were carrying and simply laugh with her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She loved her boys more than anything. They were her world, and she was theirs. Now, two young boys are being forced to face a future without their mother—the person who should have been there to watch them grow, celebrate their accomplishments, wipe their tears, give them advice, and love them through every chapter of their lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>No child should ever have to grow up without their mother. No family should ever have to bury their daughter, sister, and loved one under circumstances like these.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our hearts are shattered knowing Vanessa will never get to see the young men her boys become. She will never get to hug them, hear their laughter, watch their dreams come true, or tell them one more time how proud she is of them. Those are moments that should have belonged to her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While nothing can bring Vanessa back, we can come together to make sure her boys are surrounded by love and supported as they continue forward without their mom.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are able, please consider donating. Every dollar, no matter how small, can make a difference and will help Vanessa’s family during this devastating time and help provide for her boys as they grow.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you cannot donate, please share this fundraiser. A share could reach someone who can help. And if all you can do is keep Vanessa, her boys, and her family in your thoughts and prayers, that is deeply appreciated too.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for taking a moment to remember Vanessa, to honor the life she lived, and to stand beside the family she leaves behind.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She was loved. She mattered. She will never be forgotten.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Rest peacefully, Vanessa. ️
</div>
<div>Your boys will carry your love with them forever.
</div>

<div>all proceeds will be going directly to her mother Monica
