I work at the school Ms. Brown's granddaughters attend. "Granny" (as we all knew her) was very helpful and involved at the school. The girls were lucky to have her. Granny will be sorely missed.

I grew up in the same apartments Ms. Vanessa lived in. I was a child at the time. She was nice, stern, and looked out for everyone. She will be greatly missed by her family, and people who life she impacted. She was always there offering words of encouragment. Ms. Vanessa we love you and know that your spirit will live on in everyone's life you touched. Rest in Heavan.
