Memories and Condolences
for Vanessa Collier
October 23, 2019
My dear, sweet friend, Melvin. I was so shocked to hear of Vanessa's passing. Our friendship with you both was born back in Minnesota where we spent many, many dinners filled with great laughter together. We were all young and filled with hope as we began our married lives together. You were both such good and beautiful friends. We loved you both and mourn such a huge loss. The room always had laughter when Vanessa was in it.
We love you, Melvin. We know Vanessa's love surrounds you and your boys always.
