It is with deep sadness that I must inform you of CHARLOTTE MILLS death this morning. Charlotte had RNY to repair and replace her 1981 stapling, which had caused internal problems. Charlotte battled with many health issues post-op and this morning fainted in her kitchen, was given CPR and taken to the hospital where she died. Charlotte was a member of the MAY DAY CLUB, 10 of us who had surgery around the same date. She was always supportive, cheerful and informative. We will miss her dealy, as her family and friends will too. Charlotte's sister CHERYL STEVENS (Houston, TX peer on this site), also had RNY and has had complications and is in the hospital today awaiting being removed slowly from blood thinners before they release her. Her husband had to give her the news that her best friend and sister had passed. Please take a moment to send Charlotte's family an e-mail via this site, and if you can, send Cheryl Stevens encouraging words to help her through this most traumatic of times. May Charlotte's family find the strength through their love and faith to deal with this. My thoughts and sympathy are with you.
