Vanessa Silva, 30, lived in Inglewood, California, most of her life. Vanessa was a happy girl who was not afraid to speak the truth even if it was not what you wanted to hear... she would always give it to you straight. Vanessa was always laughing, and she had a way of brightening up everyone's day; she would always smile.
One of her proudest moments was giving birth to her only child, Miguel Kairo, whom she adored. The middle of five siblings, she was the one everyone wanted to be, from the oldest to the youngest. Vanessa lives on through her son, parents, two sisters, two brothers, and an extended family that will forever adore her.
Vanessa's life was cut tragically short, but we want everyone who remembers Vanessa to smile when they think about her. Vanessa may be gone physically, but she will forever live in our hearts.
