I just completed watching your MoM´s episode on 600 pound life. I was looking forward to checking on her progress when I glanced the info stating her name and birth date and passing date. I was thinking: She finally got it! when she did her reached the fence gate and, then, did her dance on the scale at 499.7 lbs. I´m so, so sorry for your loss. I´ve had my MoM leave and go back to Our Creator, and it´s a feeling of loss that can´t be explained. So, my heart´s feeling of hurt and loss go out to you - even though it´s been four years. I pray your new normal life has helped you to pull closer together as a family and helped you to rejoice in the fact that you loved her and on her while she was with you. Especially Mendi. I loved how you loved your sister. I have two, of which I´m the eldest, and they are so dear to me. May GOD bless you continually because of your love for her.
