> Dear Friends and Sisters,

>

> It saddens me greatly to tell you that I have learned that our friend

> and sister, Pam Young, passed away the morning of September 12, 2003.

>

> As you know, she had breast cancer that spread throughout her body. She

> suffered greatly, but at the end, she was surrounded and comforted by

> family and friends.

>

> Up until the pain became too great, Pam worked very hard to help other

> women who were ill and/or disabled from TRAM flap surgeries, breast

> implant illnesses, and breast cancer.

>

> She created a book that resides in her home town library of Findlay,

> Ohio, which tells the truth about the dangers and risks associated with

> reconstructive breast surgery and cancer treatment.

>

> She worked very hard to enact legislation in her home state so that

> women who are confronted with TRAM flap surgery would be given Informed

> Consent about this surgery prior to being operated.

>

> Together, we created the group, BAAR, [breast Augmentation And

> Reconstruction]

>

> BreastAugmentationAndReconstruction

>

> which is a public newsgroup that focuses on the risks of TRAM flap

> surgery, breast implants, and related issues.

>

> And, we created the public newsgroup TRAMflap

>

> TRAMflap

>

> to further provide research of the dangers of this particular surgery.

>

> She contributed a great deal of research to the newsgroup, SBI Prayer

> Forum,

>

> SBIPrayerForum

>

> Her work and testimony remain in the archives of these groups.

>

> Her last effort to help other women was the creation of the group

> Alternative Breast Cancer

>

> Alternative_Breast_Cancer

>

> She grew to believe that allopathic health care was futile, and began

> researching and following Complementary-Alternative Medicine [CAM]. Her

> reseach on this subject is also contained in the archives of the above

> groups.

>

> Pam wanted to make a difference, and her contributions will continue to

> help, and be appreciated by many people.

>

> When I think of Pam, I think of her one particular kindness that touched

> me deeply. Ill and disabled, she was certain to feed the wild birds and

> squirrels that lived around her home every day. She even gave them

> names. was the squirrel. Last winter, worrying about them

> straying to find water in the frozen temperatures, she bought a warmer

> to keep water from turning to ice and placed it near her home, even

> though she was not financially secure, and this was a sacrifice for her.

> I am sure that they wonder where she has gone, and they miss her, and

> their daily ration of peanuts.

>

> I will also miss her greatly.

> Blessings to all~
