I have a new sense of the word community. Since Jenna's passing, I have taken a new interest in bloghopping...basically going onto Jenna's blog and clicking on the links of her friends and family's blogs to see their memories and insights into my friend. I have laughed and cried at the words of friends and complete strangers. Whether we intended it or not, this experience has drawn us together as a virtual community.
I know I'm not the only one guilty of this. If you are equally as guilty, please post a comment. I am interested to see who all is in the same boat with me. (And it's ok if I don't know you...please, post away!)

me!me!me!! Im obsessed :( I keep expecting to go to her blog and shes going to say "hi guys" or something :(
Me! I do the same as Tasha, I keep expecting to see her posting. I finally got around to posting my tribute to Jenna. It was really tough.
I'm guilty too! I enjoy hearing everyones memories of Jenna. She was an amazing person and touched so many lives!
I've been doing it as well. I've been crying/laughing at everyone's great memories.
Im not sure you guys even remember me, but at one time I was a member of teh Play Group. I met Jenna from another moms board, middle tn moms, and she invited me to her goup when she started it. Jenna and I were not close friends and really didnt know each other well at all, but she helped me during a very dark time in my life. I had no friends or family and was in a very bad marraige when i lived in middle tn. She introduced me to other moms, and tho I only went to a handful of playdates, I thoroughly enjoyed posting on the board with all of you. Jenna always made me want to be a better mom. I have NEVER met anyone with as much energy as Jenna! She never stopped lol! And the way she lived for her family, that in and of itself is an inspiration to us all. I read her blog religiously every single day, and talked to her from time to time, actualy just spoke with her about a week or so ago before she went to Destin. Ive been totaly consumed with the overwhelming sadness of her passing, the kids left w/out a mother who devoted herself to them 100%, and husband left to do things that only a mom can really do. I too have been reading everyones blogs to read memories and see pics. God, she had so many friends and touched so many lives. Im just glad I was lucky enough for her to have touched mine.
Me too!!

I remember you too Tina. I remember you from Rutherford Moms and I also met you at Tommie's. Good to 'see' you around!

I am guilty as well. Jenna was so great and it is amazing how she is bringing us all back together again!
I'm definitely reading all I can. I think everyone is able to lend a happy moment to help us through this tragedy! Thanks for everything you all have written. It brightens my day to read about the happy times we have all had.
I can't help reading, too. The power of words is amazing. I think I've travelled more through memories now than I ever have. It's wonderful!
me too! I can't believe she is gone..... I love reading everyones memories of her. Most of you may remember me...I remember meeting most of you a few times. We lived in TN for 2 1/2 years and left in April 2005 for my Grandpa's funeral & Brother's Wedding. Then moved to Utah in June 2005.
Me too. Thanks for pulling us all out of the woodwork.
