| Prayers for this family please This is such a sad story and it just breaks my heart. My GS Matt has a very close friend named Brian that he stays with alot. They have been friends since Kindergarden and they are both seniors now. Brian's whole family is obese including Brian. He lost his Dad 5 years ago from complications of his obsetiy. Anyways Matt stayed the night there Saturday night and was woke up by Brian Sisters screaming Mom's not breathing. Matt and Brian's sister tried to do CPR on her but couldn't revive her The paramedics came and they took over,she was DOA. My GS is so tramatized by this as well as the family. I feel so awful about it. Brian's Mom was 400+ and couldn't walk much at all and stayed in a wheel chair. She is going to be creamated,however this family is extremly poor so the kids are having a carwash early the week to try and raise the funds. I gave what I could and would give them all they needed if I was able too. I don't know what the future holds for these poor children,it just breaks my heart to pieces. So please everyone pray for this family to have the strenght to get through this and raise the funds to creamate their Mother. Oh, the paramedics say they think she had pnemonia.not sure how they'd know that. |

| OMG those poor children! Prayer's coming that they will be safe with a family member who can take them in. What a very sad story. Obesity is such a terrible sickness your heart just breaks for those who have it. They are just trapped in that body and can't get out. Very sad. |

| My friend was telling me that when a person is Obese that it is almost impossible for them to lose weight,because when you get like 400 lbs your metabolsism almost shuts down. Matt was teling me last night that his friend Brian has lost like 34 pounds since he started working. I think Brian is a little over 300. That is so sad about the 5 year old. I pray that they can get a handle on it while she is young. I think it must be genetic? Thanks for your prayers. |

Donating YT 10K Club Member | Oh how awful. I'm sure your GS is certainly traumatized...nothing like witnessing someone passing away to realize....it happens. To kids...death is what happens to old old people. So so very sorry. I am not preaching but more than likely...it was all so avoidable. I think with the 5 year old, it's more likely what her parents eat and prepare for meals...than just genetics.

| My heart goes out to that family. So do my prayers. Maybe their schools can help. I hope there's someone that will be able to take care of them so they won't have to go to foster care, Bless their hearts
