TubaDiva has passed away

I’m so sorry to hear about this. It’s hard to imagine the boards without her, especially after all the work she put into the transition.

I had the same problem, so I just temporarily turned off my VPN when visiting the site. Is that difficult in your setup? I know it can be configured to block all traffic when the VPN is not active.

Goodbye Jenny.

I posted a link to this thread on her Facebook page, but I agree it would also be nice for folks to post memories on the obit page, since not everyone is on FB or will see that post.

I can confirm that your information about her age is correct. She was 65 years old. Just a couple years older than me.

I’m still in major shock this morning. I lost a friend that used to just call me on the phone to see how I was doing.

Thanks, Jenny! May you Rest In Peace.

I was just talking to her the other day! We were sort of in mid-conversation and I was expecting to hear from her Now this :cry: It’s so hard to deal with, death.

This is so sad. Words fail me. :frowning:

Way too young.

My first take - that can’t be true! - sadly, it is.

I joined in 2001. Can’t think of one day when I didn’t either read or think of the Dope since then. She was the engine of this board. She kept it going and was always there. First Lynn now Tuba. A great loss. So sad.

My thoughts are with her loved ones.

Thank you Jennifer from the bottom of my heart.

It seems so sudden. Was she in poor health? Does anyone know the cause? I didn’t pick up any indication when she was helping me get logged into the new site.

I wholeheartedly agree.

What??

I never met Tuba Diva in person but chatted with her a couple times over e-mail years ago. A wonderful and caring person whose warmth will be missed by many at the Dope. It has not been the best year. I know nothing about her life or family; hope they are coping.

She leaves a hole here that will never be filled.

What was relayed to me was that her mother went to check on her after not hearing from her for ~24 hours, and she was gone, so it was apparently sudden. So incredibly sad. No word as to possible cause.

Absolutely stunned. This is such bad news. She will be sorely missed.

Shocked and sad. RIP Tuba.

Oh, shit. She was so young.
Definitely agree to calling it the Tuba Diva Migration. And I will donate to any GoFundMe or charity that is chosen.
She was a wonderful person.
