"Extremely bright, fun-loving high achiever" -Tom L

I am so saddened by the news of Vanessa's death. Reading up on her many accomplishments since we graduated High School makes me so very proud and humbled at what she has achieved in life, professionally and personally. Vanessa and I attended Hastings-on-Hudson elementary and high school together, until after 9th grade, when I left to attend another school. Vanessa was in our small social group in Jr. High and we attended the same parties and many classes together. I remember Vanessa as an extremely bright, fun-loving high achiever who was clearly headed for great things. I am sending along her HS grad picture and a HHS yearbook entry voting her the "Most Intelligent." I am only sorry I never got to meet Vanessa again and tell her how much I admire her.
