Few days go by that I don't think about Nessa. I miss seeing her smile in person, but somehow "know" she's really not far away. Our memories live on, and Love lives forever. Love you, VC!!!

No matter how much time passes, I think so often of Vanessa, V to me, and miss her being in the physical realm.Feel like she's not far away though. Love never dies, and Vanessa radiated love. Sending love and hugs to Sharon, Donna, Carol, Vance, and Jordan and Vance III today. O how she loved and appreciated each of you. Peace....

Vanessa was always a kind soul. She brought smiles, laughter, and love to this world.

The best times of my life were spent with Vanessa, and you Donna and Carol in Columbia during our college years. I will never forget our trip to Jamaica and all the fun times we had together. Vanessa was one of a kind, and she will always hold a special place in my heart.

God gave us memories to keep those who he called home alive in our thoughts and forever in our hearts.
God Bless all of you during this time.

Our sympathies go out to the entire family.

Sweet thoughts of Vanessa and her love for life. The memories of the back Senate chamber couch and our laughs will always be with me.

Vanessa will forever be in my heart. She showed courage and love throughout her entire life. My thoughts and prayers for comfort are extended to family and friends left behind. God Bless.

Vanessa always knew how to enjoy life. My deepest sympathy.

You are in my thoughts and prayers. We will really miss Vanessa at the State House. Love Mag Rigby

Very sorry to hear of your sister's untimely passing, especially so close to your Mother's. As a CPA is say that you don't get extensions when the Lord calls. As a Christian it is comforting to know that they are in a better place and that you will be with them again. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your Family.

Sherry and family, our thoughts are with you all. Vanessa fought a hard battle and I'm sure was a trooper through it all. Thank you for taking such good care of her. We love you. Carol, Stacey and Mot

To young to be taken but forever remembered. We had crazy fun with all the class of 79. I know that God is still holding you. God please continue to comfort all of the family. Love Beverly Waggoner Lucas

My heart goes out to the family, Sherry, and all the many friends that Vanessa leaves behind. Although our paths only crossed infrequently, Vannesa, I will forever remember you and hope I made you smile from time to time.

Dear Sherry, Donna, Carol, Ben, Vance, Mr. Collier and all the family,

Wherever Vanessa went, love went with her. Her authenticity, quick wit, honesty and compassion will be missed in this realm. I'm sure there was a big party in the Hereafter to celebrate her homegoing; in fact, I find some comfort imagining the happy reunion between mother and daughter. The stars are twinkling a little brighter these nights, and I think I understand why. Love you, Vanessa. Deepest sympathy to all the family and friends who will miss her.

I am so very sorry again for the loss of a family member. Vanessa sure did smile alot and always seemed to make it a point to ensure all around were doing okay. I remember having a great time at her house. Three in Heaven from the Collier family and I am sure it is filled with laughter and lots of smiles to last forever!God Bless you Sharon,Donna,Carol,Ben,Vance JR./children and Vance Sr. in this time of sadness.

Carol, loved the 80's when we sailed on Lake Murray-Vanessa was so much fun.




















Carol and Ben, We enjoyed the 80's sailing with you. Vanessa was so much fun. God Bless. Betsy Wright Walsh Columbia, SC Susan Sufka, Carl Banks, Chapin, SC, Patrick Sufka, Myrtle Beach, SC.

I will always remember Vanessa's wit. Even in her darkest moments, she found a way to make us laugh! I will miss her! Love in Christ ( Debbie. from Dr Metropol's dental office) May you find comfort in God's love!

I am deepest sorry for your loss, may the GOD of all comfort be with all of you during this difficult time.

Sherrie and family,
The world has definitely lost one of it's brightest stars. That beautiful smile that Vanessa shared will always come to mind when I remember her. My world was better for knowing someone so selfless as Vanessa. Rest in peace Vanessa.
