[Guest guest]

Thank you Lea . . . that message is heartbreaking . .

..

That message came from Bonnie , a young woman

who also died, alone, broke, without a job or even a

telephone.

I don't think the FDA cares how many women suffer or

die. If they do, they have a lot of work to do to

prove it! - FYI, I'm copying this to the FDA!

Love,

Rogene

Rogene,

Did Bonnie live in Las Vegas? I remember inviting some

women over to my house several years ago....3 came and one of them

was a Bonnie. I remember what struggles she lived with, having lost

everything. Before getting sick from implants, I believe she was an

insurance agent. I always wondered what happened to her, but lost

touch with so many of the sick women here in Las Vegas. There was a

group leader that used to put together meetings at the library, and

she brought in quite a few people with clout...attorney's and such,

but that all seemed to fade into the background and now I never hear

much from the women in Las Vegas, though I know there are hundreds

of them!

And so many that have died. I've known 2, and it's tragic.

Patty
