As the book of life is written for each of us it to has an ending date. August 23, 2021 was the date Vanessa Winfrey closed her book with family and friends here to open a new life with our Heavenly Father and her mom and dad in Heaven. She is loved, and will be missed.

    My Bestie. My Sister. You loved to protect those you cared about wish I could have been there to protect you. But I will fight with my every breath to stop spoysal abuse and drug abuse. Noone should have to live or die for either.
