On Thanksgiving Night when we were all sitting down to dinner giving "Thanks" for our families and loves ones , Vanessa was spending her last moments with her Mother. I had spoken to her on the phone the night before. Vanessa had told me that she was on her way to the Bronx to spend what might have been her last Thanksgiving with her Mother. Last year Vanessa had been back and forth to the hospital with her ailling Mom and very seldomn left her side. Today she sent out an email to the members of her yahoo group informing us of her Mom's passing. I emailed her back and sent her my condolences from my family and my other "family" here at Xcritic. If anyone wants to drop her a note you can email her at:
