Here's an article on her death, if that is needed.

[edit] 1992 Births

Anybody else see that? For someone reason I can't remove it. I don't think Maddy Jacobs being drunk has anything to do with births on this date. Do you? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.38.12.175 (talk) 05:39, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
