Earlier this evening I received a brief message from Lorna (TeashaLorna). She told me that her husband passed away unexpectedly this morning due to a heart attack.

I knew all of you would want to know, so I'm posting this so you can keep her in your thoughts and prayers. I think it would be alright to message her with any words of support and condolence you may want to send.

I've forwarded Lorna my phone info for her to call or text if she wants or needs anything. I know I speak for all of us in saying Lorna is an important part of our little family here and we will all love and support her through this difficult time.

Thank you everyone. I will be chewing your ears off in the future I'm sure. Right now I'm pretty numb and just holding it together.

Dr Ponce de Leon Mexico VSG 4 Jun 12. I lost 57 lbs on my own before having a VSG. This is by far the best thing I have ever done for myself.
