Middletoe has died

[draclvr]

She was known as Jenny 100 at Gameboomers and was an integral part of the moderators and admins there. I have known she was ill for quite some time as I had to pick up more and more of her technical assistance moderating duties and the "behind the scenes" html documents, but she preferred that no one know about it and we all respected her wishes. I am so very, very sad. She lived with her brother and this is the post he made tonight.

I am Jenny's brother. Sadly, Jenny passed away on 3/24/21. She gradually became ill last year, with increasing problems with headaches and nausea. She didn't want to go to a doctor because of the COVID situation. By September she was getting pretty bad. She was having trouble thinking clearly, and she would have bouts of weakness that could cause her to fall. I finally decided to call 911, even though she didn't want me to. They took her to the hospital, where the doctors discovered she had a very large tumor in her brain. They promptly operated to remove it and get the pressure off her brain, but there was also a small tumor that was in a very sensitive part of her brain. So they used radiation to try to zap the small one, and some more general radiation to try to clean up after the big one. It turned out the tumors weren't made of brain cells. These were secondary tumors, and there were others in her lungs, spine, etc.

Our mother also had cancer, and chose to aggressively fight it with chemo. She ended up dying sooner and more painfully due to the chemo. So Jenny totally refused any chemo. Unfortunately, that didn't avoid pain. She had a lot of back pain that was only partially controlled with meds, and she had nausea that was never really controlled, with various nausea meds either not doing anything, or in some cases even making the nausea worse.

Jenny's final few posts here at GameBoomers were a really heroic effort, considering the shape she was in when she made them. It shows how much she cared about her friends at GameBoomers, and how determined she was to be with them as long as she could.

I didn’t really know her but she was a fixture in the community. My condolences to her friends.

This makes me so sad. I've known her for over 17 years, and she and I would exchange emails about older Mac games to try and about operating systems and other software. She was very knowledgeable and always helpful to me. I'll miss her.

So sorry to hear this. My condolences to her family and friends.

My condolences to Jenny and her family and friends.
Jenny was a computer genius and I learned a lot from her.

This just breaks my heart. She was a member here since 2003 and always popped in when someone needed assistance with a computer or a game. She also did some voice work in the Haunting At Cliffhouse game. I will miss her very much.

Terribly sorry to hear this. I knew Jenny best at GB, where she help me out a lot over the years. We shared a love of similar games.

How very very sad to read this, she will be lovingly remembered by all those she gave brilliant tech advice to. So sad that she suffered in her last year

Such sad news. Thank you for sharing this here, Drac. I just posted over at Gameboomers. I had no idea that middletoe and Jenny100 were one and the same. She will be greatly missed by those of us whom she helped in these forums and obviously by her family and friends. She's no longer suffering, in the arms of the angels. Rest in peace, Jenny.

That's a bummer. I never joined Gameboomers so did nt know here.

Still she did a lot for the scene and it's always jarring when we lose one.
