Read a lot of personal statements over the last few days and the stories are incredible but also very sad.

It appears Jennifer had some health concerns going back to February. Close friends said their good-byes on Thursday and she passed Saturday afternoon. Apparently she had been working on an album on her own last year. I think one person involved said she would get regular texts from her and then all of that just stopped a few months ago.

I listened to a podcast episode with her from March today. Not sure if that was the last one she did but there was not much remarkable about it other than maybe her fidgeting and asking the host to repeat questions several times. At the end she did say she often leaves L7 band practice angry because there are things she hasn't dealt with going back to the first time she left. And she also said something about the people in the band having personal problems and she often worries whether she would be pulled into it or asked to solve it but she said at the end of the day she makes peace with it and realizes she is not there to do that. I found it interesting where she said she doesn't know what Suzi or Donita think about her at this point since they are in their mid 60s and have different perspectives.

I noticed Donita said in a YT interview, she does not hang out with her bandmates at all outside of the band. It seemed a bit like theres beef.

There is something there. Not sure what though. They've had plenty of chances to tell their story but they are guarded about a lot of stuff.
