My best friend died on Saturday 4/26/08. As I write this I still can't believe she is gone. My friend Candy was a sweet and kind person. She died because of her weight.  She like me and so many others struggled with weight all of  their life. Candy weight was approximently 475 plus. To the people that say that it wrong to have gbs. STOP! I do not want to die from my weight.  Yes, I do know that gbs can cause other health problems. I rather live life to the fullest then sit on the side lines and watch life and people go by. Candy could not do much caring the weight around. She lost out on so much including her life. Her family and friends expecialy her 18 year old daughter will miss out on a life time of love and laughter with Candy.She will be SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO missed!  My she Rest in Piece. Love always your friend, Cathy
