Regarding Veggie-Tari-Jenn (Please read) - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Schmoopie · 08-23-2015, 07:49 AM

I wasn't going to say anything at all but I wanted everyone to know...

This is regarding one of our members; Veggie-tari-jenn.

I am saddened to say that she passed away last week. She didn't post here a lot and in fact she hadn't posted since June but most of her posts were in the games section but I know she replied to a lot of threads. I was just looking at them and remembering her. Needless to say that I am completely devastated. Jenn and I were very close friends and although we only knew each other through countless emails even more letters/packages and two phone calls I loved her.

I can't really disclose how she died because quite honestly I don't know all of the circumstances, but I know that it was sudden and she had had a birthday in June and I believe that she was 41.

We had known each other since 2013 when we were both watching One Life To Live. I found her on an OLTL message board called Rodi's which is now defunct, but I would always see her posts about how she would go to the store and buy a ton of stuff using coupons and end up spending next to nothing (that girl could SHOP!) and then she would donate it all to a homeless shelter or a battered women's shelter. She was such an amazing person and would send me packages, cards and letters for no reason.

She loved the Saw movies, Friday the 13th (I would send her Friday the 13th e-cards whenever a Friday fell on the 13th... and her favorite was when her birthday would fall on a Friday b/c her birthday was June 13th!). She loved hockey (Esp the Chicago Blackhawks), the Chicago Cubs and the Chicago Bears. She was always doing things for others and helping out any way she could to make this world a better place. I can only aspire to be as wonderful as she was.

She was a much better friend to me than I ever was to her, and I deeply regret that I wasn't better at it. I always used the excuse that my job was too demanding or I had too many things going on and now it's too late to make amends.

But she wouldn't want me dwelling on stuff like that so I'm trying not to. I feel for her family; her parents and her brother but especially her husabnd whom she'd been dating since 1992 or 1993 and they just got married in 2012. I was so happy for them both and the only time I've ever spoken to her husabnd was when he called to tell me that she was gone.

I hope I haven't upset anyone here, but it is a very sad thing to lose someone you're close to; especially a good friend. She loved this board and I'm proud to say that I'm the one who introduced her and was happy when he said that she wanted to join.

Corey Haim was her favorite actor and she was devastated by his passing so I hope that she is able to meet him in heaven. I can't wait to meet her. And what better place to meet?

PS: Sorry for the bright pink, but it was her favorite color, so I thought it was appropriate.

Torgo · 08-23-2015, 09:25 AM

That really is sad. My heart goes out to her family and friends. I remember her talking about Corey Haim, and I even talked to her about some of his movies in the movie section.

HuntingtonM15 · 08-23-2015, 09:56 AM

Wow. That is awful. She was so young, and had so much more life yet to live. I never personally talked to her, but I remember reading her posts about couponing and thought it was really impressive.

May she rest in peace.

Mr. Television · 08-23-2015, 10:06 AM

I found the welcome thread you made for her a few years ago.

http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/...ggie-tari-jenn

This is very sad. 41 is too young to die. Prayers go out to her friends and her family.

Zoneboy · 08-23-2015, 10:21 AM

This is really sad news, I loved reading about her couponing and was hoping to be able to do some trading with her by mail but we never did.

Jenn

By the way, if you click the link to her welcome thread that Mr. Television posted above you'll notice that Schmoopie started that topic 7 years ago today.

Bonniegirl · 08-23-2015, 10:30 AM

Very sad. I'm in shock! I liked her a lot. We both were Gemini's and we had several posts together about that! I also remember how she loved her couponing. I was so impressed how she did that, and enjoyed reading her posts on What was your last purchase!

I had noticed she hadn't been posting in a while, but I just figured it being summer time, maybe she was busy. I remember her saying her and her husband loved camping! Very sad, 41 years old only, I can imagine how sad this is for her husband and Family! My heart and prayers are with them!

I enjoyed posting here with Jenn, as we all did. She was a sweet , easy going, nice person, and will be very missed!

RIP Jenn!

Steve_uk · 08-23-2015, 10:31 AM

I didn't know her,but I have come to understand bereavement is a much harder process than most people realize.

Penny Lane · 08-23-2015, 11:57 AM

Oh, this is so sad! I never knew her but I remember reading some of her posts. May she rest in peace

Family Ties Forever! · 08-23-2015, 01:41 PM

I'm sorry to hear that.

That's sad. I do remember her posts about all the coupons and the savings she got. RIP.

robyrob · 08-23-2015, 05:05 PM

very sad - too young

Marvo301 · 08-23-2015, 05:17 PM

I will miss Jenn's presence on the S.O. boards and her posts. May she rest in peace. My sympathy and prayers to her husband, family, and close friends on their loss. Thinking of you Andrea! (Schmoopie)

Janice · 08-23-2015, 08:17 PM

How very sad, much much too young. I feel so bad for her husband and other family and loved ones. Her coupon hobby was very impressive. Andrea, you've lost a dear friend, and I'm sorry for your loss.

JamesG · 08-23-2015, 08:36 PM

Very sad to hear this...

I did notice that she stopped posting a few months ago and that she deleted her profile info., so I thought that she was taking a break or moved on from the board.

Thank you so much. I didn't have the heart to go though all of her posts but I knew that I would want to see them some day. It's still hard to read the last email she sent me just a few weeks ago; the one I'll never be able to reply to.

Schmoopie · 08-23-2015, 11:11 PM

Thank you so much everyone. I never dreamed I'd get this big of a response but this means so much to me. I am in tears reading these and I know that she would be so touched knowing that so many people felt her presence on the board. Just when I think that I've cried all of the tears I'm going to cry (which, quite honestly doesn't feel like nearly enough, but what can you do, right?).... Thank you again, so very much. I am so touched by this, you have no idea....
