So what happened? It's seldom to hear of someone, in her mid-30s, passing away from natural causes, unless it was a serious illness.

RIP TD. She was a great contributor here. Very sad news indeed.

I'm speechless. Please say this isn't true.

Wow... Just wow... (speechless)

Does anyone have her phone number by any chance? Or her husband's?
Please call to verify. This could still be one stupid hoax.

She had mentioned being cyber stalked before, and being a trump supporter... maybe her online self has passed?

I hope this is not true.

She posted on Friday about the patnet meetup.

Orange County is largely Republican. She wasn't sick or anything. Oh Boy.

how old was she, she looked very young

Too shocked to say anything...

Could it be one of these Facebook Algo things/Hacks where Facebook is sending out condolence style alerts or what not?

She seemed 110%, talking about meetups and such.

That's my hunch.

I hope so, at least.

I think facebook has been reporting falsely about deaths in major league numbers for a while now, and people have had to literally reach out to heir friends and family to let them know that they are fine.

I cannot believe this. I have her phone number but I dare not call. I hope this is not true. I'm just going to sit tight and hope for the best.

There is ONE visible message of regret posted on her FB page. We are not FB friends so I cannot see anything more.

Sad news. She really was the true gentle woman of this site. I'll really miss her intelligent contribution. Too bad for her kids. It's sad!

Call the number.
I can call, or anyone else you want can call too.

If I suddenly passed, you assholes would throw a party
& troll a dead man.

turtledove would say: "He was OK."
turtledove has/had class!

I also say call since even if they don't answer, there might be a mention of this on their VM.

I was also hoping it was something like that.

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.

Patrick,
Tell us something.

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

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

we'll never know, the cover would be blown. maybe look for a "Dennis Baughn" type user on the horizon?

i'm gonna go change my pic.... marcus check this out...

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!

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

AllTruth says

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

Alright weirdos, Group hug!

HEY! Watch where you put your hands!

HEY YOU says

Patrick,

Tell us something.

I just texted, waiting for a reply.

No answer. Not good.

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

Shocking. I hope this is not true.

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

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

Life happens!
Live it while you have it.

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.

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.
