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.

I am very sorry to hear of this horrible loss. Your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm so sorry for your loss. You and your sister and your whole family will be in my thoughts. I know what it's like to loose someone young. What a tragedy!! :cry

(((((VERA))))) I am so sorry, hon. This is truly sad. I hope that in this time you and your family will share many memories together, bringing smiles to grieving faces. Take what you can from her blessed life, and learn from it. You and your family, esp your sister, are in Rob's and my prayers. I hope that your family can find peace.

Vera,

They say everything happens for a reason. I have lived my whole life believing that and I have searched for answers to things that happen in my life. But when you hear of a horriable story like like this it really makes you second guess a lot of things. I am so sorry for your loss and while you may never know the reasons why may you find comfort in her memory~
