A Sigh Of Relief

Hi Everyone!



It's been a long five days since my dad's colon resection and after sitting with my mom for these days I have come to appreciate Ronnie and his role in supporting me even more.

Do you know where your pink dollars are going? Giving to companies that manufacture carcinogens?

I lost my Mom to cancer in 1982, on this very date, October 15. She had worked for toxic Revlon cosmetics for 20 years putting toxic chemicals on women across the US for 8 hours a day.

Did you know that Susan B. Komen, American Cancer Society and Breast Cancer Research Foundation will not tell consumers anything about the dangers of carcinogens and harmful ingredients in daily used products? Try going into their search engines and type chemicals in products, or cosmetic chemicals, and… Continue

My wife is a brave cancer survivor. So is my step-daughter. Jimmy V said that cancer can take your body but it… Continue

Mom

It was five years on Sep 25 that my mother passed away. Seems like yesterday. I miss her so much. My grand daughter will be a year old on Oct 17th and my mom never got to meet her.

My brother found this beautiful poem:



In loving memory of Shirley Mae Wenrich



May 9, 1935 – September 25, 2003

because I wanted you in my life forever.

And although I really miss you,

in my heart I know that… Continue
