I’m sorry I locked the comments. I’m not. That’s what I’m supposed to say. I say a lot of what I’m supposed to say. It’s fine and I’m fine and whatever. I forgot the paywall anyway.

I lost a friend. Or a couple really. But one’s just one of those things and the other is simply gone. So I’m going to tell you about her. Because I think she would’ve liked that. Hard to say. The one thing I know for sure about Vanessa is she’d find a way to surprise you. She was weird in the best of ways. The way that someone can talk too fast and talk too much and then she drops a line that’s got you spitting beer. She loved her dog and some old car she was always working on. She loved her family. She loved birds. She had terrible taste in beer.

Vanessa Sester was born on March 12, 1988. She died in May 2025.

The rest is paywalled this time.
