1000-Lb Sisters star Amy and Tammy Slaton’s sister, Amanda Halterman, revealed their cousin Katie Slaton died at the age of 37 earlier this week.
Earlier this year, it was revealed that Katie was diagnosed with stage 4 gastric adenocarcinoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer that attacks the stomach.
She had appeared on numerous episodes of the show, including when Tammy was released from a weight loss rehabilitation center in Season 5.
‘It [is] with a completely crushed heart and spirit that I have to post this. My little cousin went to sit at the feet of Jesus yesterday. She was a force to be reckoned with and showed love that was accepting and given freely,’ Amanda announced on Instagram.
The reality star continued: ‘She was the life of the part and my best friend. I know both our grandparents and friends was there to welcome you home. Please pray for my aunt uncle and cousins but mostly for the babies and for Natalie to be strong.’
She concluded her post by writing: ‘Please pray for everyone whom loves her. Thank you all who has come out and supported her.’
