Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs-Jones Hospitalized and in Critical Condition

by Deputy Diva

UPDATE:  CNN Reports that Representative Stephanie Tubbs-Jones died at 6:12 PM EST this evening. 

According to Rep. Tubbs-Jones’ Communications Director, Nicole Williams, Tubbs-Jones suffered an aneurysm while driving her car in Cleveland Heights, Ohio.   Contrary to rumors that Rep. Tubbs-Jones has passed, Williams reports that at the present time, Rep. Tubbs-Jones’ condition has stabilized and she is receiving the best care available.  SOURCE

What is up with ya’ll trying to throw folks into the ground and eulogize them before their time?  

Rep. Tubbs-Jones was scheduled to travel to Denver to the Democratic National Convention this weekend where she would be attending as a superdelegate.   MORE HERE

Prayerfully, Rep. Tubbs-Jones will fully recover and I will be sure to remember her and her family in my prayers.

    A few of the channels said she had passed and I believe her colleagues in the Congress were getting ready to issue a statement. She’s in really critical condition and I hope she pulls through with minimal brain damage, but given the statements by her doctor, the prognosis is pretty grim. This is horribly tragic and I was stunned at the turn of events.

    I was very saddened to hear this news today.

    Diva, THANKS for holding down the fort. I’m using my husband’s computer.

    Great articles you are posting, Diva!

    My own computer hopefully will be returned to me on Thursday.
