Lost my Neice, Karen.

My sister could use some prayers today.

Her daughter, Karen 21, my neice, slipped in the shower and was found by a waiting freind (they go to college together) that said she was in the shower too long. After calling 911 they tried to resuscitate her for over an hour with no luck.

My niece who I just saw 2 weeks ago at a wedding, sat right next to me at the dinner. She knew about my band and we spoke often about WLS. I told her about Sue and her DS surgery as well.

Karen was about 280lbs and maybe 5’2. We don’t know exactly how she died and is having an ortopsy.

I will be missing for awhile and ask for those who pray to keep my sister Helga in your thoughts, she’s devastated.

I’ll let you all know more later and thank you for your love and support.

So sorry for your loss. Your whole family will be in my prayers for awhile to come. Please find strength in prayer and the memories you have of your niece. Again, I am so sorry.

Vera,

My heart breaks for you and your family at this time. What a devestating loss! God be with you, your sister and all those whose hearts are broken at this time. May He be your comfort in this tragic time.

(((((((((((((((((VERA)))))))))))))))))

Oh, Vera, what a tragedy. My heart breaks for your whole family. Strength and peace from me, to all of you. What pain, I can't imagine. :cry

Vera,

I will certainly pray for your family's strength. And I also pray that this brings your family closer to Him, insead of farther away. Sadly, sometimes the death of a loved one can do that.

God bless all of you. (((BIG HUGS)))
