Geobabe has reported that TubaDiva has passed away. Please tell us this isn’t so. ---

I just saw Geobabe’s post, too. I’ve asked on the loop to see if anyone knows anything. ---

Hard to accept this after all she did to bring this board into the future. Shockingly sad. ---

In the ATMB thread about the 504/502 errors, with all the complaining and bitching and retching we did, she was always so calm and patient. She had a big heart. ---

TubaDiva is our Moses. She led us to the promised land but wasn’t able to enter it. I’d been thinking of starting a thread to thank her for all she’s done for us, especially in the transition to Discourse. It’s too late now. The lesson is to tell people you appreciate them today, because you don’t know what will happen tomorrow. Can someone provide a link to Geobabe’s post? I wasn’t able to find it. ---

That’s so horrible. She was the heart and soul of the board, the one to unite us all, and I find the Moses comparison very fitting. Rest well, may a brassy bass sound play around your resting place. ---

What will we do without our TubaDiva? She was so kind to me, as I know she was to many others. Still struggling to comprehend this. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/tubadiva-gone-update-rip/914124.md?page=2)
