I only had the fortune of meeting Vanessa a couple of times when her son married my sister, and I wish I had known her better. She seemed like an extremely impressive person and I know she will be sorely missed. Sending love to the Henderson clan. Loolee and Mikey x

So very sorry to hear this sad news.
Vanessa was much loved by my daughter who she helped … taking her to Stable Life, I hope she realised how appreciated she was by parents like myself.

Words can't express the sadness of Vanessa passing, the most caring generous loving person I had the pleasure to know. Vanessa had the biggest heart and the best sense of humour, heart felt condolences to all her lovely family.
