I just heard some extremely sad news that turtledove passed away recently, quite possibly over weekend. Had been in touch with her regarding a family issue and I got an email from her husband today indicating that she had passed away before I had a chance to reply . I am not privy to any other details.

Was very thoughtful of her husband to contact me, given his level of grief and work responsibilities in light of the bad news. She was a kind generous person who asked her husband to reach out to me on deathbed to meet up and discuss our case with us.

Personally, I'm in shock, as it seems to have happened this past Saturday or Sunday.

I don't want to call. If this is all true it just makes it worse for the family to have her phone go off every few minutes, and they may not turn it off because it could be someone important. If Quigley and MMR say it is so, I tend to believe it, but I can wait.

What the hell she looked young and healthy, I find this hard to believe.

Orange County is largely Republican.

well, san clemente is, and up the coastline. irvine has turned to the dark side - too many immigrants and university twats.

I think everyone is OK. Even Gary and Jazz. We all get weird at times.

Quigley is sad says

Sadly, I have to confirm MMR's news. Her FB account wasn't much used, but her friend has a huge post from yesterday with the news. She leaves behind two 12 year old girls, a husband, and a lot friends who will miss her dearly.

She will also be missed by many on Patnet.

I know I will miss her. 😥

That is very sad. prayers for the family-just very, very sad. Those poor kids-12 years old. The ways of the universe are a mystery to us.

Bless her heart and all the best to her family! So sorry!

52   AllTruth   2016 Nov 15, 7:09pm  

Wouldn't there be more than one condolence on her Facebook page if this were really true?

The basis isn't the single post on her page but rather her husband emailing me about my personal family issue. He then mentioned that his wife passed away, before I got a chance to reply back to her email

Patrick,

Tell us something.

I just texted, waiting for a reply.

56   Patrick   2016 Nov 15, 9:01pm  

No answer. Not good.

Facebook does have a condolence at https://www.facebook.com/susann.sills

57   Peter P   2016 Nov 15, 9:09pm  

Shocking. I hope this is not true.

Normally, I am very detached, but even my wife noticed that I was visibly sad. :-(

58   mell   2016 Nov 15, 9:14pm  

Wish I hadn't missed the last meetup when she was in town. She will truly be missed.

59   HEY YOU   2016 Nov 15, 9:23pm

60   Shaman   2016 Nov 15, 9:32pm  

Patnet won't be the same without her.
Big loss to the community.
I didn't correspond with her privately that much, but we did share a few emails back and forth. She was a very genuine and generous person.

61   Ceffer   2016 Nov 15, 9:34pm  

I remember Turtledove talking about the pleasure she had with her children. Her joy sent a healing energy, even over the internet. I always thought of her as a healer after that, even with the jousting.

She loved and she was and is loved, which is more than can be said for a lot of people.

62   Tenpoundbass   2016 Nov 15, 10:05pm  

God Damn It!!!

63   anonymous   2016 Nov 15, 10:08pm  

OMG, this is unbelievable. I just came home from my father-in-law's funeral this last weekend, and then this. Now I'm curious to know what "accident" happened at home. We love you, Turtledove.

64   Tenpoundbass   2016 Nov 15, 10:11pm  

I didn't cry when my Father died, damn I just had a good cry.

65   Philistine   2016 Nov 15, 10:12pm  

What? . . . What? Is it weird I'm tearing up and I never met her? I can't process this right now.

66   Heraclitusstudent   2016 Nov 15, 10:55pm  

Very sad.
It goes to show we never know when our number will come up, folks.
Especially with Trump's fat little fingers near the red button.
Enjoy life today.
Personally I'm hoping to stroke out before getting too senile. But we don't get to choose.

67   anonymous   2016 Nov 15, 10:56pm  

Damn how tragic

Anyone have an idea of something we could all chip together to do for her?

68   Peter P   2016 Nov 15, 11:12pm

I second that. Perhaps a cause she is passionate about?

69   Rew   2016 Nov 15, 11:30pm  

Was really hoping this thread was just a 'vast right wing conspiracy', a hoax, and not true. Traded a few emails with her. Very nice lady, as all have already said.
Wishing you well in the beyond TDove. Wishing the best for those close to you.

70   HEY YOU   2016 Nov 15, 11:56pm  

turtledove is watching & saying: "You didn't see my titties.You didn't see my titties."

71   HEY YOU   2016 Nov 15, 11:58pm  

turtledove,
Trump won just to get a peak.

72   missing   2016 Nov 16, 1:36am  

Wow! Shocking. And sad.

I will miss her.

73   joshuatrio   2016 Nov 16, 2:51am  

Very sad news indeed. She was such a great contributor to the site, and had a wonderful attitude/personality.

74   OneTwo   2016 Nov 16, 2:54am  

Sad news. My condolences to her family.

75   mmmarvel   2016 Nov 16, 4:05am  

So sad, all I can do is to pray, and I am. Rest In Peace little one, Rest In Peace.

76   FuckTheMainstreamMedia   2016 Nov 16, 4:46am  

:(

I'll post this song because from her postings here it seems how she would have lived her life...

Now I'm curious to know what "accident" happened at home.

http://livingwithmyhome.com/diy-do-it-yourself/preventing.aspx
The 5 leading causes of death from home accidents are:

Falls
Poisonings
Fires
Suffocation and choking
Drowning

I'm pretty sure she would not accidentally poison herself, and I'd rule out fire as well since I bet they would have mentioned that. If we know if she had a pool or not we could maybe rule out drowning.

78   AllTruth   2016 Nov 16, 6:50am  

Major downer.

It's bad enough she was only in her 40s, but just as bad that she has young children.

She struck me as beautiful, intelligent, strong-willed, fiercely independent, yet forgiving.

I'm bummed.

79   indigenous   2016 Nov 16, 7:29am  

Shocking,
She will be missed.

80   NDrLoR   2016 Nov 16, 7:56am  

AllTruth says

but just as bad that she has young children

I feel sorriest for them, especially since it was sudden and she hadn't been expected to die. I lost my father when I was only 14 and for several years I was terrified my mother was going to die of a brain tumor as she had headaches all the time--as it was she lived to be 94.

I guess I watch too much Information Discovery, but I hope this doesn't turn out to be something only disguised as an "accident", as tragic as it is already.
