Passing of Florida Member

I saw this on the Main Board... The passing of Angel Leanne Angie Original Post by Angel Angie at 1:16 PM PST on 09/07/2005 Pompano Beach, FL - RNY (09/01/2005) The Passing of Angel Angie Original Post by Angel Angie at 7:59 AM PST on 09/07/2005 Pompano Beach, FL - RNY (09/01/2005) Hi everyone I thought you would like to know that one of your OH members who had surgery on 9-1-05 passed on 9-5-05 due to a leakage or blockage that the doctor did not find. We still do not know the true reasons of her passing but I thought it would be appropriate to let you know of her passing as many of you wished her well on her way to surgery. Angel left behind 3 small children, Korey age 5, Katlyn age 3 1/2 and Gracie age 2 her husband of 9 years asked me to thank all of those who prayed for Angels safety during surgery. The family is grieving as you would expect, Angel was a young vibrant and beautiful young girl who I will miss for the rest of my life. She was opposed to surgery but her doctors told her she needed it and her support group and peers assured her it was safe, she followed the rules to the Tee!!! Things happen and theirs a plan for all of us but it was too soon. I will be looking after her little ones for now while her husband tries to cope. If anyone would like to send their thoughts and prayers you may do so here or to a special email that will be set up later this evening... [email protected] Thank you again and please please BE SAFE and totally sure you want to do this when deciding for this surgery. Sincerely, Grace - Angels bestfriend

Here's a link to her profile, it has photos of her beautiful children. http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/profile.phtml?N=M1120682988

Grace - I'M SORRY that Angie did not make it. You have my support and deep thoughts and prayers for her and her family. This is such a difficult time nationally when there is so much suffering going on with the Katrina tragedy - and now our sadness is added by the passing of Angel Angie. I'm sure her doctors are just as devasted as anyone - it's just so weird they could not find the problem before it ended her life. This is the reality of this surgery to otherwise sugarcoat it is a falsity. God bless.

Grace, Oh I just have a horrible feeling of sadness.Her loss ha**** me hard.Probably because Im a mom and went through Surgery last year. I send blessings and hugs to Angels family.Give her children a special hug from me as they will need as many as they can recieve. And Im sending stregth to you and her husband as you will need that in the time to come. Brightest Blessings A stranger far away Heather

My thoughts and prayers are with the family in this time of need. Every moms nightmare is to leave her babies behind. She did this for all the right reasons. My God grant her peace and serenity. Kat
