I am so sad to hear of Vanessa's passing, we were penpals when we were young and lost touch, I still have all of her letters spanning over 5 years, talk of Bess and Looky her dogs and life in and out of the hospital, going out, having holidays with her Mum and visiting her Gran in Scotland, telling me about her brother James and talking about our shared love of animals. I have been trying to trace her for a couple of years on and off, the only photograph I have of her was from when she was about 20 years old. I have thought about her almost every year since we lost contact and am saddened to have not had the opportunity to reconnect, sending love to all of her friends and family she had such a huge impact on my life growing up.
