Vanessa Rebecca Medina-Ortega's Obituary
Vanessa Rebecca Medina-Ortega, 29, passed away October 13, 2021. She is survived by her parents Frank and Rosalie, her brother Alex, and her son Levi, and many family members.
Born on September 20, 1992, Vanessa grew up very close to her cousins. She loved socializing and spending time with family and friends. She graduated from Leto Highschool in 2010 and Hillsborough Community College in 2013. But her proudest accomplishment in life was the birth of her son, Levi. She was very loving and cared about everyone she met. She loved Jesus Christ and brought so much joy to those who knew her, always laughing and having fun!
A memorial service will be held in her honor at 1:00pm on October 28 at Sunset Memorial Gardens Funeral Home, 11005 N US Highway 301, Thonotosassa.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the family for a headstone.
When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little-but not too long
And not with your head bowed low
Remember the love that we once shared
Miss me-but let me go
For this is a journey that we all must take
And each must go alone.
It's all part of the Master's plan
A step on the road to home
When you are lonely and sick of heart
Go to the friends we know
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds
Miss me but let me go.
