Lisa Fleming from TLC's 'My 600-lb Life' has passed away. She was 50 years old. Her daughter Danielle M Fleming shared the sad news in a Facebook post.

"I am truly at a loss for words right now," she said in her beautiful tribute, which had a photograph of two holding hands. She revealed that things had gone way out of hand and there wasn't much she could have done.

"God knows I wanted you to hold on until I got here but He knew what was best for me. I didn’t need to see you like that! This morning I sat and held your hand for 4 hours knowing nothing I could’ve done would bring you back to me. Anybody who knows me knows I gave my mother my ALL!"
