Vanessa Jane Constable 2000, 1982-2018 By: Jennifer Singer 2001 and Lyndsay Hayhurst 2000

We were heartbroken to learn that Vanessa passed away on June 11th, 2018. Ness came to Havergal in Grade 10 and made those halls a happier place with her infectious laughter, lighthearted demeanour and giddy sense of adventure. Ness was always a crucial piece of our friendship puzzle – reminding us all to find happiness in each day, dance, sing and take as long of a lunch break from our busy HC days as was necessary. Ness was an incredibly gifted artist, photographer and dancer during her days at HC. As head of the dance club, she and Jackie Chin 2001 organized the Dance Show in 2000 where they wowed the audience with their amazing performance. Ness was always up for any adventure one could suggest. From

remembered ‘Nessie Jane’s Madly Ragin After Party’ for our final semi. We’re grateful to have gone to school at a time when we didn’t text, but instead passed thoughtful handwritten notes with funny stories of the past weekend’s escapades or what we were going to wear to the next dance. Those notes continued throughout our post-HC days when we’d call or e-mail Vanessa, and in return, she would send beautiful letters detailing her new adventures in Colorado. Ness – you were a dear friend to us all, and our lives are forever changed for having had you in them. Thank you for making our final years at Havergal some of the best of our lives. We will never forget you and will cherish your

organizing a baseball game with all of our girlfriends to missions up to cottages and set-ups for semis and formals, she was always inclusive. She was the life of any party – especially as she promoted the forever-

friendship forever. Most importantly, we will always remember to dance, sing and live each day with the thoughtfulness and joy that defined you. Love always, your Table in the Corner .
