    My Aunt was my 2nd mother (often my 1st to be honest). I lived with my Aunt and Uncle at least half, if not more, of the time I was growing up. The man she married, my Uncle Bill, taught me more about life and growin up than my own father did. There is so much I could say, but I can't bring myself to do so here.

    She was a good hearted woman, and a nurse for the last 12 years. Her first daughter was born with Spina Bifida, and has not been able to walk since the day she was born. Although given only 5 years to live when she was born, Sabrina is now 22 years old and still lives at home with my Uncle. It has been a long, trying road with my cousin and her mental and physical disabilities. She requires so much attention, and my Uncle is left to do this by himself. On top of this, she was unable to have children after Sabrina was born. They decided to adopt 2 boys, since apart from myself, my uncle never had a son. They are now 10 and 7 years old.

    My Aunt had gastric bypass surgery, for weight control, about 5 years ago. On Wednesday, she was admitted for emergency surgery on her intestines. Apparently things did not go according to plan, and they lost her on the table. My family did not tell me until Saturday morning my time (Friday Night). I'm upset about that, because of the place she holds in my heart.

    I don't know what else to write, and I'm sorry for using this as an outlet guys.

    RIP Aunt Debbie. I miss you. I love you. I will see you again soon. Watch over us.....

    I'm very sorry for your loss and the circumstances that surrounded it. You have every right to be angry toward your family right now but don't let it distance you from them in your time of need.

    Sorry to hear about your loss. Understand your frustration about not getting word til a couple days later, but in the grand scheme of things, its nothing. YOur family needs you now and vice versa most likely so dont put too much energy into being angry.

    Sounds like she was an awesome woman, and a major influence on not only your life but others as well. RIP Aunt Debbie.

    Hang in there OneM, we are all here for you, will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

    Thank you for all who posted here. I appreciate your sentiments. It means a lot to me. I've seen my share of death and pretty much always take it in stride. This is one of the few exceptions, where I just don't understand why it had to happen.

    I don't know if I'll ever understand this one. She was only 46 years old.
