Hi all, this is Lancepaw/Fliss. I'm Tangle's daughter IRL.
I'm sorry to say that she passed away very suddenly on 7th.
I wanted you to know and for something to go up because this site meant so much to her. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
I'll be keeping tabs on her emails etc for the time being so if anyone needs anything to do with the site please email me at rothrouga@hotmail.com
To say that I'm devastated is an understatement.
Love to you all
Fliss

Hi Fliss.
I'm so sorry for your loss, but also so very thankful that you took the time to let us know. While DAB meant a lot to Tangle, she also meant so much to DAB. Without her I don't think we'd have ever had as wonderful a community as we do, and she'll always be remembered fondly.
Even though I only joined around the last year that she was ringleader, she always seemed to be such a wonderful and caring person. Always on hand to help. Always bringing cheer and fun. Even after she "retired" from being ringleader, it was always a delight to have her check in on us, and I know that she was absolutely invaluable help for so many people on the site as well if ever they had any problems.
We all send our love to you as well. And our hearts and minds are with you and your family.

Hi Fliss,
Thank you so much for taking the time to let us know. Tangle was a loved and cherished member of the DAB community, and she will be sorely missed. We are all grateful for the hard work & care she put in for DAB over the years, and I personally am thankful for the support she offered me when I followed in her pawsteps as ringleader.
My heart goes out to you - as someone who also lost a parent this year, I can begin to imagine the pain and devastation you are experiencing. You and your family are in my thoughts this week. All of us here at DAB wish you the best in this difficult time.

Hi Fliss,
Thank you so much for letting us know. I have no words for this, and can only echo what others have said. Tangle was essential to DAB's history and is still essential to what it is today. As cliche as it is today, I am terribly sorry for your loss, and all our hearts go out to you.
We'll remember Tangle very fondly. Thank you. We wish you the best.

DABs only resident bunny. Been here since dirt. Oh, Fliss,I don't come around here much so I only now saw this. It breaks my heart. She and I were great friends in our own way. She was always so kind and understanding with me. After she got sick, I thought of her every day. You, and her new husband as well. Tangle and Tilly were a force to be reckoned with. I regret that we did not keep in touch. I know she loved you so very much and was so proud of the young woman you became. For a time...she was my best friend and I loved and respected her very much. Sorry it took so long for me to see this announcement, I almost wish I never had. Take care, Fliss, email me if you need to. With Respect, Fluffbelle

I am so sorry to hear this news, I just saw this notice yesterday. I first spoke with Tangle about 15 years ago. She was a mentor and friend to me and she helped me to build up my leadership skills. She allowed me to grow in a way I never expected to. I had planned on meeting her back in 2011, when I was living in Europe but my plans fell through. She was an amazing person, and I appreciate all she did for me. Tangle's legacy will live on! -Midnight

I didn't have the chance to reply when I first saw this, so even though it's late I wanted to say something now. I'm so grateful for Tangle and her leadership and that I was able to be a part of DAB during her seasons as ringleader. I know I sent her far too many questions as a newbie, but she always answered graciously. Tangle certainly left her mark on this place and on many of us who've passed through along the way, and I can imagine that it's only a small part of her legacy. Fliss, thank you for taking the time and energy to let us know during those difficult days. I wish you and your family peace and hope even as you continue to grieve and remember her well.

You know, I thought I'd look up this old place on a whim today after an urge (it was a beautiful day for reading) led me to pick up the old copy of Redwall (pages falling out of it now!). I'd heard this news before (on reddit, I think?) and it was a hard loss to process at the time, but I wanted to leave something kind here: Tangle was one of the first people who ever really believed in me or ever tried giving me any sort or form of responsibility (I fondly remember thinking of new activities and playing around with the old Geocities pages). I'll always be grateful for that — even if I don't think I always lived up to expectations, I learned a lot and she was a very positive influence on my growing up. Not many people take a nine-year-old on the internet seriously, but she always did. May her memory be a blessing for everyone whose lives she touched.

Hi there Lancepaw/Fliss, I saw this about a month or so ago, but I'm not sure why I haven't replied yet. I know a lot about Tangle and how awesome she is, and I am so, so sorry for your loss. I hope you have a wonderful day/week/month/year/life/EVERYTHING. DAB will be in her heart always. And yes, Tangle is always, always right.
