In May 2003, Vanessa Weiss, daughter of Mary Weiss, was killed in a car accident while riding as a passenger. Vanessa was only days away from celebrating her 16th birthday. Minnesota Helpers is a non profit organization that aids victims of disasters. The memory of Vanessa is honored each time a volunteer reaches out to people through minnesotahelpers.org

Although the daughter and I give our names, on many occasions we are both called "Vanessa". We let it stand uncorrected as we think it is perfect.

Yesterday we went shopping for more supplies to distribute when we can coordinate our time to get "on the road again". Gee .... There's that song again!
