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.

Vera, I am so sorry to hear about your niece. Please know that your family is definitely in my prayers. This is so terrible but may God grant you and your family peace and comfort during this awful time.

With Sincere Sympathy,

Dee Dee

Vera,

There are no words that could help ease the pain that you and your family are going through right now. Just know that you and your family are being lifted up in prayer by a lot of people who care.

OMG !!!

Vera I'm so sorry, uhh words can't say enough. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. My heart goes out to your sister and her DH.... :)
