I offer sincere condolences to the Monk and Tillman families! I will always cherish the memories of Vanessa in third grade where I taught her class on the afternoons when her teacher had to coach the girl's basketball team. I was a senior in high school and it was a great class! They worked well with me and often sent little notes to me throughout the school year! Rest-in peace Vanessa! We are praying for each of you!!
