Gina8642 | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 07:35 pm     This probably isn't the right place to post this, but I doubt anyone is checking the Amazon board regularily anymore... Jenna's mom has passed away. Obit Joker's updates SS Very sad. There's speculation that she was in All Stars. I hope not... That would be so awful. Condolences to her family... |
Kappy | Friday, November 21, 2003 - 07:40 pm     Thanks for passing on the news, Gina. Her mother was my first thought when they said Jenna was in ASS. I honestly couldn't understand how she could leave her to do another Survivor. So let's hope they were wrong about her being there. |
Eliz87 | Saturday, November 22, 2003 - 09:24 am     I didn't watch the Survivor with Jenna on it (well, I tried to start, but there was no one on there who I could tolerate watching so I stopped). Jenna's mom is quite young. Had she been having ongoing health problems? |
Texannie | Saturday, November 22, 2003 - 09:28 am     I think she had breast cancer. That is so very sad. I am so sorry for her loss. |
Teachmichigan | Saturday, November 22, 2003 - 06:26 pm     Wasn't it brain cancer? I'll try to verify. |
Teachmichigan | Saturday, November 22, 2003 - 06:29 pm     My bad...it was breast cancer. Just goes to show how much I've tried to block all of last year's Survivor from my mind!! |
Pamy | Saturday, November 22, 2003 - 06:45 pm     Any word if Jenna was still filming? This is just so sad, my heart goes out to her |
Tabbyking | Saturday, November 22, 2003 - 07:44 pm     as far as jenna's mother passing away, how terribly sad. having had a scare with breast cancer when my kids were only 8 and 6, i truly feel some of the pain and am sorry for jenna's loss. ------------------- as far as any of the million-dollar winners being asked back for allstar survivor, i am not happy with that about any of them. however, i feel the others will probably vote them out early, feeling the same way i do i hope matt is back for it but i don't believe i have seen his name bandied about. |
Caycaye | Saturday, November 22, 2003 - 09:30 pm     When did her mother die? Recently? If Jenna had started on ASS, would they put in an alternate if she had to leave? Like Sandra? Wouldn't Jenna have known if her mom was close to dying? I hope she didn't go either...or she will lose the LAST bit of respect I had for her. |
Webkitty | Sunday, November 23, 2003 - 06:20 am     Deena left a nice message for the family at the on-line obituary. What a nice picture of Jenna's mom. She looks like such a nice person and very pretty. I believe her mom started out with breast cancer about 10 years ago and it had spread to her brain. So, Jenna has lived with this knowlege for half her life almost. I know from my own experience that someone with a terminal illness that there are good days when the patient seems to rally and be strong right up the end. They are up and having visitors and chatting and then, boom. From what I have read here and there, Jenna's mom wanted her to live life to its fullest. No one knows what private family agreement they had. I would wager that Jenna's mom was her biggest supporter to participate on All Stars. |
Lorry | Sunday, November 23, 2003 - 08:06 am     My sympathy to the family. What a sad time of year for anyone to lose a loved one... Hope Jenna and her family are surrounded by friends and family during this sad time. |
Hippyt | Sunday, November 23, 2003 - 12:16 pm     I wasn't the biggest fan of Jenna,but this is truly sad. Her Mom sure fought it for a long time. |
Bbfanatic | Tuesday, November 25, 2003 - 04:17 pm     the just said on E News Live that Jenna M. went home from ASS because her mom had died. they didnt say anyone replaced her. they just said there had been one voted off so far and had no info on who that was. in other words, they didnt know if she had been voted off yet or not. |
Hippyt | Tuesday, November 25, 2003 - 04:19 pm     How sad. |
Pamy | Tuesday, November 25, 2003 - 06:59 pm     Oh my heart goes out to her |
Kep421 | Wednesday, November 26, 2003 - 01:36 pm     Knowing how families bond together when faced with terminal illness, I can't imagine Jenna would go to ASS without the blessings and at the urging of her mom. If it was me and my daughter, I wouldn't want her missing out on life because I was terminal and might die. My heart goes out to Jenna and her family. |
Zipsdaddy | Friday, November 28, 2003 - 08:23 pm     Is it possible Rupert was brought in as Jenna's replacement? After all, I am sure ASS is gonna have some twists of it's own...... And at the point they were filming, they would have needed to balance out the teams. |
Gen | Saturday, November 29, 2003 - 07:51 am     According to the calendar at TDT, 7 survivors had been booted by this time. So there is a chance that Jenna had already been booted and could leave without affecting the game. |
Jbean | Sunday, November 30, 2003 - 01:47 pm     maybe about a month ago, heidi stroebel was on a local radio interview (she is from a town about half an hour away from here), and heidi said that she had just spoken to jenna the previous weekend, and that they almost lost her mother at that time, but she pulled through and they thought she was much better. i guess jenna was there at the time. although i could be wrong about that part. sad, i know how she feels, for sure. lost my dad to lung cancer 5 years ago this coming january. |
