The stars of 1000-Lb. Sisters are mourning the loss of their cousin.

On Tuesday, Aug. 26, Amanda Halterman — sister of Tammy and Amy Slaton — announced on Instagram that their cousin Katie Slaton died the day prior at 37, after being diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.

“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,” Amanda wrote alongside a photo of the pair. “She was a force to be reckoned with and showed love that was accepting and given freely. She was the life of the party and my best friend.”

“I know both our grandparents and friends was there to welcome you home,” she added. “Please pray for my aunt, uncle and cousins but mostly for the babies and for Natalie to be strong. Please pray for everyone who loves her. 💔Thank you all who has come out and supported her. #cancerscks.”

Tammy and Amy have not yet spoken publicly about Katie’s death.

However, back in January, Tammy posted on Instagram and shared a GoFundMe page asking her followers to donate to Katie’s cancer journey and say a prayer for their family throughout her journey.

“Y’all I’m so sorry to be asking a big favor like this but if anyone can help, even if it’s a dollar would help my cousin out so much,” she wrote. “She has been on my show but this is something new. Our family just found out about her having cancer.”

“Our fans have been there for us for so long now and y’all mean the world so any act of kindness is and will be greatly appreciated,” Tammy added. “Thank you so much and before anyone asks, yes I’ve donated myself.”
