Vanessa Alejandra Tapia was born on August 25, 2000 to her parents, Jose and Jessica Tapia. On January 2018, at the age of 17, Vanessa was welcomed into the loving arms of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
She is survived by her parents, Jose and Jessica Tapia, and three sisters, Gabriela, Andrea, and Anahi Tapia; and numerous family members and friends that will deeply miss her.
Vanessa was an avid lover of sports. She played competitive soccer for many years and was a force to be reckoned with when she was on the field. Off the field she enjoyed laughing and making others laugh. She didn't need to be the center of attention but her radiant personality could not be ignored. She was amazing, kind and caring. She was fantastic.
Those special memories of you will always bring a smile to our faces. If only we could have you back for just a little while then we could sit and talk again just like we used to do. You always meant so very much and always will too. The fact that you're no longer here will always cause us pain but you're forever in our hearts until we meet again.
