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.

God Damn It!!!

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.

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

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

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.

Damn how tragic

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

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

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.

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

turtledove,
Trump won just to get a peak.

Wow! Shocking. And sad.

I will miss her.

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

Sad news. My condolences to her family.

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

:(

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.

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.

Shocking,
She will be missed.

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.

I hope She's really alive and well, She's just ditching us because her social experiment to bring us altogether as one big huge homogeneous family failed.

Like a typical man, I deal with grief by trying to be useful. So in that spirit, Facebook does allow family members to close or memorize accounts of deceased users. A user can also specify what should happen to his account after his death. Here are the links.

Facebook rolls out feature for users when they die
Special Request for Deceased Person's Account

My sincere condolences to the family. I will take a shot of hennessy for memory. RIP.

Interested what this "home accident" was that ended up being fatal.

Did she piss off Hillary?

That will teach her!
This is patnet,we'll be having none of that.

Who would bother with wasting time with patnetters?
PN's are a threat to themselves! lol

My mother left my abusive,drunk, trash father when I was 12.He died when I was 14.
Mama lived to be 92.
If he was alive today I would slap the stupid out of him. I'll do it when I meet him in HELL.

Time to major troll.
Anyone that has used or uses alcohol is weak minded fool.
Alcohol should be classified as a Schedule +1 drug calling for immediate execution for
anyone that has anything to do with it. Pick up a wine bottle,YOU DIE,NOW!

Time to roll one!

Her husband told that she had chronic migraines which kept her up, and fell down the stairs early Sunday morning.

Wow. Sad news.
She was ballzy.
I liked her.

errc says

I wonder if maybe they didn't

She was a damned fine Patriot and a Classy Woman. My deepest heart felt condolences to her Family. If she profoundly touched me as much as she did, by making me sob and weep like a baby upon this terrible news. I can't imagine what they must be going through, after having the privlege to live with such a fine person day in an day out. For that person to now be gone from their life.

That's terrible. Such a trivial thing that could end someone's life in seconds.

I miss Turtledove. :(

Amazing that she had such an impact on so many of us who didn't even meet her in person. It goes to show what kind of a person she was, and I can't imagine the suffering of those who were very close to her.

This is so sad. I feel very sorry for her. She deserved living a long life. I only met her that one time but I believe she was a righteous and very thoughtful woman. She cared. We had some long conversations by email and by phone, about all kinds of things.

My thoughts are with her husband and children, a boy and girl aged twelve. I think the children are a credit to Turtledove and her husband. They are well-mannered and good kids, just as one would expect. I hope you all know that many people are thinking about you today. You do not have to do anything, just know that we are.
