Vanessa M. Weslow

I knew Vanessa for some 10 years while she worked as an analyst for McDonnell Douglas Technologies. She was very knowledgeable of material characteristics in various situations. I never knew that she was so active in the San Diego music scene, until I saw her at one of Janet Beazley/Chris Stuart bluegrass jams. She was indeed a person of many interests and skills.

Vanessa and I lived together for 5 years back in our grad school days. I am greatly saddened to come across this page while doing a search for her.

She was an incredible person, smart as a whip, and extremely funny. And she cared. Had a voice like Rickie Lee Jones, angelic and beautiful.

I knew her mother and grandmother as well. Interesting folks. All three of them the best, most interesting of characters.

She was an extremely positive influence on my life. RIP...

I believe I may take the prize for knowing Vanessa the longest. We were in the same class in grade school in New Jersey. I was hoping to get together while just recently in Escondido, but sadly was unable to get through by phone, which prompted me to search the web. We hadnt spoken in quite a while.

I knew her grandparents, parents and other friends from back in the good ole days.
Very sorry to learn that she is no longer with us.

Dear-Dear Vanessa- I will miss all of our conversations pass and future. I'm sorry I wasn't there. We go way back- not as far as Vicki but you were caring and a unique person. I will miss you❤.- Robin T.

I never met her but I indirectly inherited her Bass Fiddle.
It's got some serious mojo!

Thanks Vanessa...

Vanessa came into my life, however briefly, as a result of one of her many acts of generositypicking up slack for Friday Folks when Barbara Heckler wasn't hosting. For a guy who usually finds just getting there on time a stretch, I'd managed (through a miscommunication) to show up at Vanessa's a good two hours Early, something that can put a host in a bind. Rather than suggest I come back at an appropriate time, she made me feel exceptionally welcome, filling me in on the San Diego music...

I am heartbroken. I've known Vanessa for 40 years. We were the "Flying Vs". This Flying V will fly no more. One of its wings is missing. I will miss you terribly Vanessa.

Vanessa was my neighbor the past 6 years. Very friendly and we helped each other out when we needed anything. The neighborhood is not the same without her. She will be missed greatly:(

She was truly a good person, spreading joy wherever she went. I was ill for a couple of months, and she called me multiple times just to check on me. Nobody else ever did that. Whatever place in time and space she has gone to, I hope there are lot of Bluegrass and Folk jams she can join up with. She left us way too soon.
