Tuesday Morning

Its been a very long sad night. I havent been able to get Mary off my mind. Ive looked at all the pics of her from last week that I saved from everyones posts. She was so happy and so glad to be on this journey. I cant imagine her not being here with us. So strange how things can change so fast. I guess what hits me so hard is that she was so young and now that these two little boys have to go thru life without their mommy. Well I hope everyone has a blessed day.

i keep thinking about her as well, she was just to young...i never met her, but she was a loser...and thats all i need to know.......sounds like a week ago she was doing wonderful.....and you know, i know we do not know why she died at this point..thats a risk we take with this surgery, and i was so unhappy, i took that chance....we all do..and for the most part we may have some kinks to get ironed out, but we do good and live our lives as losers, I want to thank GOD for my life as a loser, the time to be with my family....

Mariah, I feel just like you do. Seeing that post last night hit me like a ton of bricks. I haven't been on this board for very long but I feel like I know so many of you already. I had been praying for both Mary and Gail since they both had problems. I knew that Mary had heart trouble and needed a transplant so the procedure she had done was sort of a last resort for her. I know she had been very sick for a long time. I, too, went back over the pics from the Christmas party. It's hard to believe that someone apparently so vibrant last Tuesday is gone. I can only believe that God is in control and for some reason He needed Mary with Him. I feel very sorry for her family and her children. It is just another wake-up call for us to realize that our obesity (I haven't had surgery yet) or former obesity hurts not only us but our loved ones too. May we all feel His closeness in the coming days for comfort. We have lost one of our own. Karen

I just read the posts about Mary this morning. I feel so sad. I don't remember much about that first lap we took together in the hospital, but I remember her being kind to me in the hospital. Linda Vicory
