Wow, That's even shorter on details than they usually are! Hopefully more info will be forthcoming.

Another sad day for the dive community and a terrible loss for all. I feel for those who have lost a friend, loved one or companion today. The diving community is unique in that we all feel a special connection with other divers that is hard to explain. Each time I hear of a diver death I feel I have lost another friend even when I am not yet aware of who they are.

RIP Leslie

One of the sweetest, most carring people I have ever been blessed to know. My life is forever changed for having been graced by her presence. I will miss this woman as I miss my own mother. My heart breaks for her husband of almost 50 years. I weep for her sons and daughters. But more than anything I remorse for all of you who will never have the opportunity to know the joy and peace that encompassed everyone who stood near this woman. Today the world is a much colder place for all of us.

From TNT this morning: Authorities identified her as Leslie Jacobsen of Yelm.

The diving partner pulled the unconscious woman onto Sunnyside Beach shortly before 2 p.m. and help was called, Town Administrator Paul Loveless said. Paramedics tried to revive the woman but were unsuccessful.

So sad to lose another member of the diving family.

Waynne--I'm sorry for your loss, but it's nice to hear that her life touched others in such a positive way. She will never die in your memory.

Wow, my prayers go out to Leslie's family, love ones and friends she leaves behind. I hope we get to learn more from this accident so we may benefit even in these times of sadness.


Rest in peace Leslie.

Dove Sunnyside last night, and thought a lot about her accident all during the dive. Prayers and condolences to her family and loved ones.

It's so sad to hear about any death, much less the death of a person who was both a diver and a stellar individual. My deepest condolences to her friends and family for their loss.
