Update: Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all of the donations. Because of all of the generosity of our community we have made it possible to cover all the expenses for the family for Vanessa's services. Any amount left over will be going towards Vanessa's headstone at her final resting place. Thank you everyone who showed their support this last week and to everyone who showed up yesterday to pay their respects. Vanessa was one lived little girl and all of the support has shown that.

The McDougall family has experienced an unimaginable loss this past Friday night with the tragic passing of their daughter Vanessa McDougall.

Vanessa was a loving daughter, a caring sister and a treasured friend. She had a smile that could light up a room and a place in the hearts of so many who knew and loved her. Her passing has left a void that can never be filled.

No parent ever imagines having to say goodbye to their child. The McDougall family is now facing every parent's worst nightmare while trying to navigate overwhelming grief, heartbreak, and the many challenges that come with such an unexpected loss.

During this incredibly difficult time, we are asking for the support of our community to help ease the financial burden of funeral and memorial expenses. Every donation, no matter the amount, will help the family give Vanessa the loving and dignified farewell she deserves and allow them to focus on mourning, healing, and supporting one another.

If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser. Your prayers, kind words, and support mean more than words can express.

Please keep Vanessa's parents, her sister, her three brothers, and all who loved her in your thoughts during this heartbreaking time.

Thank you for helping us honor Vanessa's memory and for surrounding the McDougall family with love and compassion when they need it most.
