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.

Hi Vera, I've purposely avoided this thread until now. I'm so very sorry for your loss, and you and your sister have my deepest sympathy. This is ssuch a heart break for your family, and I wish I was able to do something to add comfort, but I always feel so useless in times like this. I wish I could do something more for you than offer words accross cyberspace. Please know that I've been keeping you and your family in my thoughts since you posted this thread.

I'm so sorry.

Vera - I am so sorry. I will be praying for comfort for you and your family!
