What were the circumstances behind her death and being found at the grasslands?

Mojo and good thoughts for her family.

Wow. All the different last names for her kids, ages 20 to 11

Thanks Barry for finally getting this on here. I had heard something about this, but it's been very hush hush. Why hasn't the Messenger ran a story about it-they do about everything else no matter how bad it hurts families.

Were drugs or alcohol involved?

WHERE ARE THESE SO CALLED GRASSLANDS?

They are, by and large, lands with grass...thus called the grasslands!

Yes drugs were involved. She overdosed. I knew her very well. For people to criticize her for having three kids with different last names shows just how people can't think about the tragedy that the kids are going through.

i have only seen one suicide in 15 years in the messenger, so why would they do this one? and that one was a child predator so i can see why they did that one.
i dont want to read about a suicide. what would there be to read, a play by play of how they pulled the trigger?

it wasn't suicide. it was an overdose.

Funny how in the obit it didn't mention that she is preceded in death by her husband, Jimmie VanHoose. He committed suicide several years ago at their home in Chico. I am told she was at the home at the time.

Sorry, husbands aren't mentioned in the "preceded in death part' of an obit.

3:13 - consider an overdose not one of drugs but of the trials and tribulations of life.

I know her mother. Can't we have a bit of compassion for the family?

This board reveals some real jerks who have NOT experienced the harsh realities of life.

They will. They will!!!

A woman is dead and those of you that attempt to be funny on here are sick, sick people. 5:55 especially. What the hell did Mzcheif ever do to you? Anyway, my thoughts are with the family. Her poor kids need our prayers right now.

THIS IS SAD, SHE WAS TO MY KNOWLEDGE A VERY UNIQUE PERSON, FROM A GOOD FAMILY, THEY HAVE HER BOYFRIEND IN JAIL ON DRUG CHARGES!! AND SHE WAS NEAR THE GRASSLANDS BUT NOT AT THE GRASSLANDS.....

mzchief said...

WOW!
It must REALLY suck to be some of you people. I cannot for the life of me imagine the horrible Karma you people who are busy maligning this dead woman are brokering for yourselves.

If you wonder why the people you encounter are insensitive to your needs and feelings all you need do is remember the callous treatment you have shown a woman who did NO harm to ANYONE of you degenerates mocking her death and belittling her life.

You crass people at 1:34, 3:43, 4:04, and 5:55 are DISGUSTING.

***************************************

To 5:55...
Just to prove to you how much your Karma already SUCKS, most of the women in my family live to be over 100 years old.

All you seem like good people are gossiping about this death. Get over yourselves and quit posting shit like "I knew her family so you guys be nice " crap ! You just wanna post cuz you think your special because you herd her name before or you know somebody she might be involved with might be in jail . If you really cared about this person you would'nt be adding your LITTLE tidbits of so-called know what you're talking bout info. Let her rest in peace without all your gossip !

I personally know Betty Jane Andreason Jackson, the mother of this girl who died. She adores her children and grandchildren. This has to be so difficult.

Mzchief is right - some folks on this board are just disgusting.

Makes me wonder sometimes why Barry wastes his time with their posts especially on something as sad as this.

Barry is likely gathering information for a future book on "How Folks Responded to my Blogs"......

Doubt if it will sell many books, unless he can find a really smart editor, lawyer and shrink to help him write it.........

Just think, blog posters, we may all be famous in fifteen or twenty years.......

Audra was preceeded in death by her ex-husband in 1996. He also left behind a wife and two small sons. Suicide victimizes not just the deceased but entire families as well as communities.
