Subject: ''Little Flower'' Has died.

To all of you,

''Little Flower'' died last night between 7,30 and 8.00 PM EDT

We just received confirmation from her family.

In her last moments she was surrounded by the members of her family. We were told, that she was smiling and calm. We know that she is now an Angel looking for all of us. She was only 44 years old. Silicone has killed her.

Please pray for her husband and her two children.

You all know that the three of them are going to need our help by our prayers.

Micheline had met her this week on wednesday morning and she still had great hope to stay alive.

We have just lost a great and a wonderful sister. She had great strength always smiling and having a good word for her silicone sisters.

She told Micheline ' If I get in good health I'll get my implants taken out

She has asked her family to have an autopsy made after she died.

We never had time to transmit all the letters of support we receive for ''LIttle Flower'' We will give them to her family this week. We will meet them on Thursday.

A special page will be open-end on our web site in remembrance of her.

We hope that she didn't dye for nothing. Truth might come out in this case.

Micheline & I would like to thank all of you that have written a letter to ''Little Flower''

Your friends,

Micheline and Tony

THE FOLLOWING LETTERS ARE ALL THE LETTERS THAT ‘’LITTLE FLOWER’’ RECEIVED WHILE SHE WAS IN THE HOSPITAL OR RIGHT AFTER SHE DIED.

ON BEHALF OF HER FAMILY & FRIENDS WE WILL LIKE TO SAY TO ALL OF YOU THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR SUPPORT GOD BLESS

From: Richard and Adella Matthew

Dearest Friends and Loved Ones,It is with a heavy heart that Richard and I learned, upon returning from our holiday, that Little Flower has left us on September 25/99. What a loss for all of us, and especially her husband and two children. A dear wife and mother, who has now found peace with Our Heavenly Father. This leaves a great void for all.

She no longer feels the pain and needless suffering caused from Meme breast implants. A true tragic story that reminds us of the unbridled greed of the manufacturers and plastic surgeons has been repeated once more.

Little Flower will never be forgotten by the I.A.S. Implant Awareness Society and our member associates. She will have a place of honour alongside those who have gone before her and sadly those who are still to follow. My heart is heavy with pain; it is as though I too had known her personally. Thank you, Micheline and Tony, for having us join you on the web to learn of this Great Lady. Many lives were made richer by her presence among us, and she will always be among us. Her suffering and pain is acknowledged and will never be forgotten.

Little Flower will share a place of great honour, along with three other ladies that you may read about in the British Columbia part of the web site http://www.info-implants.com under Ivana's Memorial Service. Little Flower stands tall and graceful. She has set an example for us to follow in love, courage, hope, faith, and the ability to inspire others. Our prayers are with her family. We will always love Little Flower. We are richer for having had her share a measure of our life. May you find comfort and inspiration in the following poem by The Prophet as he was known, Kahlil Gibran.

Lovingly,

Adella and Richard Matthew

Then Almitra spoke, saying, We would ask now of Death.

And he said:

You would know the secret of death.

But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life?

The owl whose night-bound eyes are blind unto the day cannot unveil the mystery of light.

If you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life.

For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.

In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond;

And like seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring.

Trust the dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.

Your fear of death is but the trembling of the shepherd when he stands before the king whose hand is to be laid upon him in honour.

Is the shepherd not joyful beneath his trembling, that he shall wear the mark of the king.

Yet is he not more mindful of his trembling?

For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?

And what is it to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?

Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing.

And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb.

And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.

May you find comfort in Kahlil Gibran’s poem. His poetry has been translated into more than twenty languages, and the American edition has sold more than four million copies.

To the Little Flower:Our love and thoughts are with you, we are sad that you and your family have to go through all this. Remember you are a flower, your fragrance and your thoughts will live forever. We are all praying for a fast recovery, and need you back with us to fight this war. While you are resting and getting better every day, we will continue to fight for the cause.

Wishing you lots of love and you will remain in our PRAYERS.

Always

Here is a Poem from Lori for''Little Flower''.

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free.

I'm following the path God has laid you see.

I took his hand when I heard his call

I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day,

To laugh, to love, to work or play.

Tasks left undone must stay that way,

I found the peace at the close of day.

If my parting has left a void,

Then fill it with remembered joys,

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,

Oh yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow.

I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.

My life's been full, I savored much,

Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch:

Perhaps my time seemed all to brief.

Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.

Lift up your hearts, and peace to thee.

God wanted me now, He set me free.

The pain is fleeting compared to life, and love, and green grass and bright sun. A night of sleep is well traded to see the moon, hear the rain, touch bare feet to wet grass, and see the sunrise, maybe even a tiny rainbow!

In our hearts, we have all the time in the world to love you, to imagine your blooms, your floating on the breeze, your beautiful scent, the tiny kisses, like roses on a cheek, from your loved ones.

The pain is awful. We know that. know that we are thinking of you as whole and in full bloom. In fact, perhaps I can mail you a painting of a flower! Over here, you just choose "open".

We send you blessings and freedom from fear and pain. You are filled with light and faith and love.

A wave rolling to shore, bringing diamonds of sunlight; a child's hand in your own. Seashells. Salt water. Breezes from the mountains.

Breezes from the sea. Heels and toes dug into squishy sand.

A ride on the train to move is to be. Movement, like a child in a wagon, will never lose it's thrill, and the first snow, falling on your face bringing sleigh rides to mind, and Christmas sweets, and smiles all around.

These things are you, and you are them. The good things are what you are. The good things are what your life means. You are a good person.

You deserve good things. You deserve to be here for as long as you want to be here...so be like a child. Wake with a smile.

We will all pray for you. We will pray for the end of your pain and the birth of your newest bloom.

Love and Light

Dee

Dearest Little Flower,I don't know quite where to begin, such a long battle we are all fighting, and I know at this time in your journey, that words fall short of the mark! But let me say that I know some of what you are going through, although my journey has not progressed to where you are now. As I look back on my decision to get implants, (back in 1985, silicone, double lumen, both ruptured, at explantation) I think of the "other" women I used to be, strong, athletic, and although I was a caring, young wife and mother, I look back now and see the woman back then as a very "me" oriented person!

But I also know (and this will probably sound very strange to you) that through this sometimes horribly painful journey, that there were lessons learned and people met, that I never would have known had I not made the decision I made! I have learned to accept people for who they are, and where they are at, to try to break down barriers (with love) at all cost, to try to be a peacemaker amongst family and friends, to accept help, from all who want to give it, to accept my fate, (even if I don't think it is fair all the time) because in doing so, others are learning their lessons, to love, give, and show compassion!

But I think the most Important lesson I have come to know from all of this is that God has always been by my side! He has never wavered! Friends and family have come and gone, (some couldn't handle seeing me in the shape/pain I was in, and I bless their decision.) But God has never let me down, he has given me the courage and the perseverance to continue every day! I pray that God has given you the gift of peace and acceptance, and that all the days we have left on this earth, will be spent in his pure love and forgiveness!

May God hold you and your family and friends in his loving arms, now and forever!

Most Sincerely Yours,

Dolores (A Sister in Texas)

Little flower may you know that people who have not met you think, and pray for you. For all that you have been, and are going through.

May you hold in your heart that you have touched our lives, even though you may not know it.

What you have been and are going through no one should be, this everyone must admit.

So little flower thank you for sharing your story with us all.

It has been something I will always remember, being so sick you made others feel very tall.

It took two long years to teach her and I did finally. I was with her also, I washed her body and bagged it when she died. I did her hair and make up, where she looked beautiful and comforted her children and the family. God has now taught me...do not fear death any more! I am there with you and each person I call home. I have learned there is another silicone sister who I call everyday, she has cancer too now, she needs our prayers night and day. Her name is Dorothy let's just call her ms. fiesty please pray for her and spread the word among our sisters, brothers and friends I'll be here with her now my wish for you is knowing I'm here for the long stay. .I will survive and spread knowledge, love and kindness through out the world and to those of you who are my family Not because of silicone I believe we were meant to cross each others paths in our lives here on earth! I hope you find comfort in even one small word I typed to you today amen Gigi

I can't believe the beauty and the words of comfort I found, when I accessed your site on Flower. I had no idea these letters would be posted on the net for people to read, and see the beautiful tribute you created in her name. You did not only a wonderful job but you touched my heart I feel that my words were very simple and small, compared to some of the magnificent poems and other things which were written to Flower and her family. I tried to access your other site first but some way my connection would not go through, I copied the exact spelling with my mouse, is there a problem or is there another way I might be able to access you site. I have meant to express my concern for your health, and wish you gentleness and kindness to see your through this.

The one thing that did astound me, when I visited your site on Flower, was that more of the women in the United States did not take time to write. We are all ill for the same reasons, we need to Unite and support each person, no matter what country were from. God did not draw boundaries, man drew them, I will not let an imaginary boundary stop me from helping or caring about others, who have been toxically & chemically poisoned by the manufactures & are ill. I did see that Ilena, Linda Dintino, and Myrl sent emails to you, these are caring and lovely women who I think are beautiful ~ I spoke with Ilena last week, and Linda & I are friends, I am truly blessed to know both of these magnificent women.peace, truth and research now,

This could be my family in tears. Good Bye LITTLE FLOWER today I lighted a candle for you and I say a prayer to our creator above. Carry you home my sister ,NO MORE PAIN ,no more sickness all is well now .May you eternally watch over your sisters and have the wonderful peace that only comes from our maker.

Micheline told us about your illness. I had cancer FROM the implants but fortunately was cured by prayer--not fortunate with my other severe illness. I believe that if God wants you to go with him at this time, He, in his infinite wisdom has something better in mind for you. I know how hard and sad this is for you on this earthly plane, but I know that God will gently guide you into the next world. And maybe He needs you to guide all of us other lost souls as a guardian angel? I think that He would have had me die if he would have needed me more up there--I'm not exactly an angel. Just know that your life has made an impact on all of us silicone survivors, even when you don't know us. We pray for you, and we put it into the Lord's hands. God Bless you and may you not suffer too greatly.

Dear Sister Little Flower,

I am praying that you are resting and are comfortable. Our Sister Micheline has told us that you are an Angel. Today in meditation, I could feel your beautiful Spirit. I am so greatfull for the moments of prayer and meditation, when i am reminded of our Oneness in Spirit.

I salute your strength. I salute your love for your children and husband. You are blessed eternally. May you accept the Peace of mind that you so richly deserve our Dear Sister Little Flower. With Love,

Dear Micheline,We are so sorry for another loss of silicone sisters of the world. LittleFlower sounded so special. We hope soon that the antidote will be available so that all of this pain and suffering can be over. They have been testing it for over a year and a half and it is like an anti-rejection drug but homeopathically removing the residual silicone. I am praying that it can be shipped into your country for your girls.

God bless you,

We all have to love each other UNCONDITIONALLY. Your letter was so sweet. I have cried over the little flower, but she is in heaven in a better place.

May God bless you each minute of each hour of each day of each week of each month or year/years, he blesses us. Life is short and we are not promised a day as we all know.

Dear Little Flower,I am writing to you because I received a letter stating you are in your final stages of the terrible disease that takes our lives from us. It can happen to anyone.

I am one that believes death is not the final stage of ones self. I also believe our time here was predetermined. I also believe we choose to come into this life to nurture our souls and progress spiritually to become that much closer to our Maker. Once you cross over to the spiritual realm you will not have your weak physical body, you will not have boundaries on the things you can or cannot do. I think your life actually is on the other side and this time spent on earth is the school time to progress further up the ladder of the consciousness that puts you that much closer to the soul's ultimate goal of becoming one with our Lord.

I do not know how you feel about the subject of the "rebirth" of your soul, but when I read you are now in a hospital with cancer, I just had to write to you to let you know there a lot of us out here that have put you into our prayers. Have a safe journey home perhaps we will someday meet.

God bless you Little Flower.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Bonjour Little Flower,I heard of your story and wanted to say hello and wish you love and peace. I too had the Meme implant and developed cancer, had the chemo, radiation and was re implanted with Meme. (No longer have Meme, but saline on one side that will be removed next week, Sept. 30th). I took a little journey to Lourdes, France and took some of the waters and prayed to God for acceptance of His will. I also went to Ste-Anne-de-Beaupre to pray. It gave me much peace. I have been in remission for 8 years now. The doctors have found a 2.5 cm mass on my chest wall and that will be removed next week also. What will be, will be. I have been fighting this battle for 31 years, since I was 22. God has blessed me with much. I figure He knows what he is doing and when He calls me, I will be ready. Not that I want to go, but we don't have much choice in the matter. I do hope you can find some peace for yourself, but that does not mean giving up the fight. With much love, I am truly a sister in your suffering.

Peace Be With You,

Kathy Nye

Bonjour peu de fleur, j'ai entendu parler de votre histoire et ai voulu dire bonjour et vous souhaiter l'amour et la paix. J'ai aussi eu le Meme implante et ai développé le cancer, ai eu le chemo, rayonnement et étais au sujet d'implanté avec Meme. (n'ayez plus Meme, mais salin d'un côté qui sera retiré la semaine prochaine, le 30 septembre). J'ai pris un petit voyage à Lourdes, France et ai pris certaines des eaux et ai prié à Dieu pour l'acceptation à lui . Je suis également allé à Ste-Anne-de-Beaupre prier. Il m'a donné beaucoup de paix. J'ai été dans la remise pendant 8 années maintenant. **time-out** médecin avoir trouver un 2,5 centimètre masse sur mon coffre mur et cela retirer prochain semaine aussi. Ce qui sera, soyez. J'avais combattu cette bataille pendant 31 années, puisque j'avais 22 ans. Dieu m'a béni avec beaucoup. Je figure qu'il sait ce qu'il fait et quand il m'appelle, je sera prêt. Pas que je veux aller, mais nous n'ayez pas beaucoup de choix dans la matière. J'espère que vous pouvez trouver de la paix pour vous-même, mais cela ne signifie pas donner vers le haut du combat. Avec beaucoup d'amour, je suis vraiment une soeur dans votre douleur. La Paix Soit Avec Vous, Kathy Nye

Ilena, could you please forward this poem on for Little Flower. How my heart breaks for her and her family. This poem was sent to me by a sweet young Christian girl who helps her husband and my friend with blind & deaf handicaps.

Gently, Lord

Love me gently, Lord

I'm hurting now.

I've lived to see Your sovereignty

You've taught my knees to bow

I've caught glimpses of Your glory

I've seen Your righteous ways

But right now I need You, Father,

Just to face another day.

You have promised not to always be

Exactly what I please

But You give me sweet assurance

You're exactly what I need.

I need a gentle Father

And the lullaby He sings,

"Let Me tuck you safely

Underneath my healing wings."

Love me gently, Lord,

I'm hurting now.

You said, "Take Your cross and follow Me."

I beg, please show me how

To celebrate my weakness

That in You I might be strong

When desperation grips my soul

A moment seems too long.

Oh, God, what noble plans I had

To do this whole thing right

Now I fall before You wounded

And I've lost the will to fight.

There are soldiers all around me

They're depending on me, too.

I fear I've nothing left to give

So, again, I ask, Can You?

I'll love you gently, He says.

I know you're hurting now.

You've oft revered my sovereignty

Your knees have dropped to bow

If you could only see things

From My throne's clear point of view

You'd see glimpses of My glory

Are fast at work in you.

I'll love you gently.

Let Me soothe your hurting now

I've said, Pick up and follow -

I'll do more than show you how.

I'll turn this Throne of brilliance

Into a rocking chair

Crawl aboard, My precious child,

And I will rock you there.

Lord

Dear Micheline,My heart aches for the suffering our sister is enduring. I do not know her personally, but I feel a closeness to her and her family. I have never been very good at condolences. But, I must express my sincere sorrow for her, her children, husband, parents, and to all who know and love her. I saw a picture of her one time. She is quite lovely. Much too young to have such a horrid illness her eyes reveal her kind spirit. I have been praying all day for her and for all of us afflicted by man's greed. She will surely go to a place much lovelier than this, and one where pain does not exist. With all my heart I pray to God that he will have mercy on our little flower and her family. May he give them the courage they will need now to carry on , as she would want them to.

Dear Carolyn,I belong to a support group for women who have been poisoned with

silicone breast implants. We get so many strange and terminal diseases, fibromyalgia being one of the least painful and dangerous but none-the-less a terrible illness to have to live with. Micheline Lambert is a support group leader for the ladies in Canada and is a very sweet and helpful friend. As this forward explains, a very lovely young lady is currently suffering and it sounds like she will die soon. I was wondering if you could put her on our prayer list. Not many people understand how terrible implants are and how they not only devastate the victim, but also their families. Please add her to our prayer list as well as her children and husband. I have been so sad today having learned that one of my sisters is dying. Please ask for mercy and strength for all involved. I thank you very much.

Dear Sister Little Flower,Hi Honey, this is one of my favorite poems that I thought I would share with you. I hope you enjoy it. Your in my thoughts and prayers. Love ya

Linda Dintino, TXAngel's Prayerby: Alan W. Goodson

Of Life and Love and all I've known

Within this mortal world,

There lives an Angel forged of gold,

Whose seen my dreams unfurled.

She stands in silent witness to\

The pain within my soul,

And guides my troubled thoughts with care

Where peaceful waters flow.

Beyond the darkened visions of a past

With soft regrets,

To places never known before,

Where future hope reflects.

A mirror of my inner self,

A twin of my desires,

This Angel holds a candle tight,

To light the hidden fires.

She weaves a golden cord around

The fissures of my heart,

To bind the fractured dreams I've held

With love and gentle thoughts.

Of every trusted friend I've known,

And every love before,

She's given more than anyone,

And asks for nothing more.

The beauty of her essence Is a garden of delights,

Adding color and enchantment,

To the dark and lonely nights.

Her words are softened petals,

That caress my deepest fears,

Her soul a cup of friendship

To collect my many tears.

Her eyes are pools of comfort,

And have shared my deepest dreams,

Like stars within the heavens,

Casting light upon the scenes.

Her voice, a song of laughter,

Giving joy to troubled hearts,

In rhythm to the power,

That united souls impart.

Her love a peaceful blanket,

To relieve the lonely chills,

A warmth that knows no boundaries,

The empty spaces filled.

These gifts my Angel sent to me,

A message strong and true,

Of friendship, hope, and thankfulness,

And peaceful thoughts renewed.

This Angel's Prayer I give to her,

Though less than she deserves,

I offer her the tenderness,

Held close within these words:

"Thank God for you and all you've done,

You're with me every day,

A special kind of friend you are,

To walk with me this way.

And every path I tread upon,

I'll keep you by my side,

My beautiful reminder of,

The place where faith resides.

Where truth and love are joined as one,

Upon a higher plane,

And voices speak of love we share,

With sweet and soft refrain.

I pray you'll sense the happiness,

You've added to my soul.

The colors of the rainbow pale,

Beside your golden glow.

I promise I will hold you close,

Through all the dreams we seek,

And every breath I've yet to breathe,

You'll feel upon your cheek.

And should we ever reach the stars,

We'll hold them in our hands,

Like diamonds of remembrance,

To light our earthly plans.

We'll bask within their crystal glow,

And walk the sands of time,

Side by side and close to heart,

We'll share the dreams we find.

I'll treasure every moment spent,

Within your celestial wings,

And know I'm safe amongst your thoughts,

Whatever the future brings.

And every time you're lonely,

I'll be there to comfort you,

I pray that you will understand,

That I'm your Angel too.

Little Flower-I, too, had breast implants. Five months after their removal I was diagnosed with breast cancer. The cancer has spread to my lymph nodes. My time on this world, like yours, is short. I comfort myself with the following script:

God is fully with me NOW.

No matter what the situation in which I find myself, God is with me. I do not have to make myself more worthy before I reach God; but right now, right where I am, God is lovingly waiting for me. I relax in the realization that God is within me and all about me, even in what may seem to be the darkest darkness, God's light surrounds me and fills me with His Love.

"Lo, I am with you always." (Mt.28:20)

Dear Micheline and Tony,

I would like to begin by thanking you for all your devotion to our cause, God Bless You.I am new to the computer, less than one year, but have I learned a thing or two since then. I also had the infamous MEME implant and have been 100% disabled since the age of 33. I am now 40 and I don't know where all the years went, I guess bed-ridden and plenty of doctors.

I am on Ilena rose's support group list and I was very upset when I read that 'Little Flower' had passed on. I am a roman Catholic and pray to my patron saint, "Saint Therese", she is called, "The Little Flower". in fact my devotion is so strong that my e-mail address is,

St. Theresa has been helping me every step of the way, through these terrible times. She answers me and everyone in the sign of roses. When I pulled in my mail that evening and read, 'Little Flower has died', I was speechless, saddened, and very moved. I said to myself, this could be me, in fact I had to immediately contact a friend and notify her that I was not the little flower who passed on from this world. all my friends know me as, the Lil-Flower.

Although I did not know your little flower, I felt deeply drawn and felt I must write to send my condolances. from the bottom of my heart, I know that she is watching over us from God's lovely garden and she will never be more than a prayer away. With this note, please send much love and courage to the family who has lost their precious rose.

POEM OR PRAYER WRITTEN BY SAINT THERESE, THE LITTLE FLOWER:

Jesus designed to teach me this mystery. He set before me the book of nature. I understood how all the flowers god has created are beautiful, how the splendor of the rose and whiteness of the lily do not take away the perfume of the violet or the delightful simplicity of the daisy. I understood that if all flowers wanted to be roses, nature would lose her springtime beauty, and the fields would no longer be decked out with the little wild flowers.

And so it is in the world of souls, Jesus's garden. He willed to create great souls comparable to lilies and roses, but He has created smaller ones and those must content to be daisies or violets destined to give joy to God's glances when He looks down at His feet. Perfection consists in doing His will, in being what He wills us to be.

St. Therese of Lisieux

Dear Micheline,I am so deeply sorry to hear that Little Flower died. Being fairly new with the group I never had a chance to share with her. Please extend my sincere condolences to Little Flowers beloved family. She was so young. The silicone manufacturers will here. Sometimes I want to give up on this fight but hearing about Little Flower, revitalized my strength.

With my love and endless prayers.

I'm real not much for words especially when someone you know looses someone they love, as most of you know I also have silicon, my point is Ifound out before I lost my son in a drowning accident 2 years ago and I just wanted to share this poem, it seems to help me

To my loved ones and friends

I'M FREE

Don't greive for me, for now I'm free I'm following the path God has laid for me I took his hand when I heard his call I could not stay another day To laugh to love, to work or play Tasks left undone must stay that way I found the peace at the close of day If my parting has left a void Then fill it with remembered joys a friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss Oh yes these things I will miss Be not burdened with times of sorrow I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life has been full, I savored much Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch Perhaps my time seemed all too breif Don't lenghten it now with undo greif. Lift up your hearts, and peace to thee Gog wanted me now HE SET ME FREE LOVE AND PRAYS ALWAYS, A SILICON SISTER

I am so saddened that Little Flower has died..

I am not very good at cheering up a dying person. as I feel only sadness for those left behind. and sadness that she will not be able to enjoy the accomplishments of her family. to laugh with them, to be sad with them. for those are the true joys of life.

I am detoxing and have been doing it since January. I do feel as though I am making progress, I have not said anything publically as I want to finish but here is something that needs to be done and that is keeping us ill get rid of the heavy metal first because the heavy metal kills the cells that clean up our bodies it causes them to have a half life and I know this for a fact. I had extensive blood work done by the lab in CA it showed I had very few natural killer cells, and almost no natural killer cell activity.

I knew about the heavy metals but did not know what they did to the body just knew they were bad I am doing chelation with EDTA IV but before my doctor would do it, I had to have my hair tested. and yes it had heavy metal in it in toxic levels and in very high level.

I have to say that after 18 of these I am beginning to feel unbelievable good I know this is what is doing it everything else is the same one of the side benefits of EDTA is that it gets rid of clogged blood vessels.

The AMA is against it because it hurts some of the doctors if it cures their patients from needing angioplasty, that is money taken away from them. One of the people i do it with, had like a 68% blockage he is not doing it for that, but anyway, he recently went to test and it ws down to 30 some odd % he was impressed heavy metals keep the body from healing itself. Thought I would pass it along as I know Micheline is very ill EDTA was used in the 40's to remove lead it is called chelation this is the best way to go it takes about 4 hours to do it is worth it you feel awful afterwards and the rest of the day.. but i can say that it took at least 7 treatments before i noticed anything different.

I am afraid to mention it because the AMA is trying to get it barred. There ae only 5 states left that has it but I think if it is for the removal of heavy metals it is ok and they cannot do anything about it do not know for sure am not read up on it.

Little Flower. To be a Star,You must shine in your own light.

Follow your own path.

Do not worry about the darkness.

For that is where stars like you shine brightest!

Recall the Ancient Primal Memories.

After all, you know what this is about.

This is your realm.

You have been here before!

You'll be Sadly Missed, but we'll all Look to the Skies and Remember.

Micheline and Tony,My heart grieves this morning for the family of Little Flower and the loss they feel right now. While Little Flower was called home out of this pain and suffering, her request for an autopsy will serve the mission to her silicone sisters that she wanted. Her family may never know how many lives her story has touched, and I get so angry at times when I see yet another name added to this Silicone Death Book.

How God must cry at the evil that has been done to His children, and I do believe that when their day comes, we will see God's justice. I want to be sitting on a hill side in Heaven when those who have wronged so many will face their Creator one last time.

May God bless you in your ministry to our Canadian sisters.

Thank you very much for emailing me about "Our Flower, who will now sit amongst the most fragrant ones ever created. My heart cries out with pain for her family, and the anguish they feel at this time. I will write an e-mail to you to send my thoughts to her grief stricken family. I have a silicone sister here who has also been diagnosed with cancer. I call her each day & try to check on her, lend my support and keep her depression under what control I can offer. I love her and she also needs our prayer's, and love to get through the radiation and give her the will to stay with us a while longer. she just got a p.c. & is now hooked up, I'll be sending her info. & fun stuff too. Please e-mail your site and if you are p.c. knowledgeable put it in a hyperlink my neuro damage is progressing & it's hard for me to get where I wanna go get there in less than 90 tries! Oh my :) You guy's are such caring and wonderful people, I would love to stay in touch with you. I live in Dallas Tx. I help women here and my e-mail box over floweth, even my private e-mail name has now been traced...smart women huh :) but I don't mind at all!

I'm here to make a positive effect and help those who need it, I only hope I can accomplish that & get those major corporations who have now taken a life of another one of our sisters needlessly! I have no doubt that God was looking down, and sent a mighty band of Angels holding Flower in their arms!

She was swept away and carried to where she will now live for Eternity Life is so sweet if only we can see the beauty God has in store for us! This was God's will for Our Flower, He knows when Our journey will end here. She leaves behind many of life's lessons for us to hold in our hearts and thoughts for ever and ever more ~ Our lives have been touched by her and her fragrant, kindness, gentleness ways are now ours to keep and learn from.

I will remember her name and each time I see the beauty of a Flower I'll see her, and know Flower is still with Us All ~ just in a different form ~ no pain but brightly and beautifully lighting up our life's again. Spring will come soon but we have the majesty of Autumn right now before our very eyes.

Tell her children she will be with them & look down upon them and comfort them in ways they will know A Mother's love will forever be there try not to cry to hard. Let God show them where they can find her, in all their memories and traditions and those everyday things...she is there with them & remains there! peace, truth and research now,

Gigi

Date: Sun, 26 Sep 1999 18:11:40 EDT

First of all let me talk to you, the children she gave birth to & loved daily I know how hard this is for both of you, and you don't understand why, Your mom had to leave you. I do and one day so will you but not yet so feel the pain and let yourself cry I took my nephew a few ago, when my brother died You are blessed you have a loving and caring father he had no one but me. your mother is only asleep, she will still comfort you and come to you in dreams, memories and you will see her in many different things in your life time. Her smile or something so simple will flash across you mind or eyes, it's her there for you she will forever watch over her children with love and attention just from a Higher and Lovelier Place! You'll carry on many of the traditions that your family made, they'll stay with you as an adult you'll find her there with you at those times too! I know your heat is breaking, and you think it will never be the same, mine is breaking and crying tears falling like rain right now with all of you! Rain doesn't last forever nor do tears of pain, they come and go, just like Flowers Be thankful for the Flower, who bloomed so bright She will lit up your garden of life forever now;she taught and loved you, the very minute you were placed in her arms! Your way always will be filled with memories no one can take from you your heart now is where it has been marked & touched gently by a mother & a flower created just for You by God! He knew her time was over, she had completed her journey in life now follow the path she taught you, you'll walk proudly with grace, mercy and kindness You'll grow stronger just like a flower does you'll open your petals & become what she would be proud to call her daughter and her precious son the seeds were planted now sow them!

Cry but look up and gain the strength, you'll never be alone I can promise you that God & His Band of Angels will Sing you a lullaby when you can't sleep, they will rock you and comfort you as if your mother were still there holding your hand you just have to reach up a little higher now, you won't fall trust and hang on. Your Safe!. She is in Heaven and your lonely and filled with emotions you can't understand, Trust me She does not want you to cry or give up for one minute in time! One day you'll have a child and you'll know how deep love can really be the love for a child is greater than any other, But The love for God must come first. God knew the why and the time to take her to Heaven That light from Jesus Christ was sent to guide her. She felt no pain or fear. Only comfort. No, mother wants to leave her children or husband behind, you know that without me even telling you. I know things your feeling and thinking it's ok, let those feelings lose, but remember no matter how mad or even angry you are this is God's will, you will survive and show the world what your mother taught you love is all it takes, to become what were told to do with our lives. Your mother must have show so much love, that it's someone else's turn to learn about giving.

I will hold your hand, you can e-mail me I'm not your mother & no one will ever be, but know I am thinking about you sending you strength a mother's love from me to you both catch it and the kiss on your cheek, I just wiped away one tiny tear from you face let your heart feel my love enter you, & I'll be right with you in Faith, to day, tomorrow an as long as you need me. All you have to do is look Up & pick out a special STAR* make a wish, for someone else kiss your hand & blow it in the wind I believe Still Your going to be all right, take the time you need, & make certain to talk to your friends, your father and God about what your feeling at different times. This will help you more than you know no one can handle grief without needing to share their personal & private feelings let them. Go Feel your loss! Don't hang on to this forever in a negative way, it isn't one. It's the beginning for Flower now when your ready you begin new again too! I know your going to make both of your parents real Proud Both will share your joy's and sorrows, there are many in life...that's how we learn lessons I'm still learning too but I know I care about All of you & I hurt with you we will all learn from this. Your lesson will be harder than mine, you can do It!

Now go and put your Arms around your Father & then look Up and tell God thank you the mother you loaned me was Perfect I will see her again one day, when You God take me to that Special Place I'll wait until You decide in the meantime I'm going to show my love to others I'm a flower of God's too Watch Me Bloom I'll come out every Spring, I won't give up on me! I will make my petals open wide, where my beauty and scent can be enjoyed! thank you all for letting me say just a little of what my heart is feeling for All of you ~ do not Cry at her grave, She is not there, you will see her in many places like the rain or the dew on a flower or the smell of a cookie...who knows. You will when it happens all through the rest of your precious lives!

I care about all of you that are heart broken and are having so many difficult and varied emotions it's also all Right to even laugh, smile or giggles at this time I just bet each of you find a smile on your face sometime through out this. Your mother will like that so go find a quiet place and think alone from a friend a Mother who knows how much children mean. star* & kisses Gigi.

I'll wish tonight ~ blown to you

Micheline and friend Little Flower,

I'm writing to both you and your friend in the hospital. Micheline, I hope you are doing much better since your fall. You and Tony are so dear to all of us. I know Little Flower appreciates your concern and love. It's such a tragedy that we have to suffer these devastating diseases while others profit and apparently get off without penalty. However, I don't believe they will go unpunished. I believe God has greater plans for all of us. We all have lessons to learn and to teach. He has put us here for a reason. When we have accomplished His mission, we can go home to His loving arms. I pray that both of you feel the presence of God and the warmth of His healing. May God Bless both of you.

To "Little Flower's" Children,Bart and I are so sorry to hear about your mother passing away. We understand what you are going through, as we lost my mother just last November.

Even though we miss her, she is in a wonderful state and will sure be in heaven. I draw comfort from just sitting in the room where she, my mother stayed (bedridden for about three years).

We know you are good children, and she was lucky to have you. You brightened her life and gave her joy. You were her joy.

We know and feel the presents of both my father and mother as well as my grandmother that have passed. Yes, I talk to grandmother every now and then. You know what, I knew her so well, the advice she would have given me comes back.

We know you are really hurting right now. The hurt will lessen as time passes, then you will have the good memories and it will not hurt as much to enjoy them. That is if you understand you are a great son and daughter.

Sometimes we are hurt and at the same time go in the wrong direction by remembering everything we did that we thought hurt our mother. Guilt feelings burden us down.

That is the wrong thing to do, because mothers understand their children. And were not hurt at things we feel we should have or have not done; even though we think they might have been. Some things are small in the big picture.

Just remember your mother loved you and would want you to have a happy life, remembering all the good things about her with pleasure. Never feel guilty about made up stuff you can think about. It not only makes you feel worse, but your mother is at peace with you, and enjoyed every minute with you. She only took good memories with her and hope you keep the same.

Remember, she is now watching over you with love, and it is only we that are left that hurt, because we miss them so. We will continue to miss them, but the last thing your mother would want is for you to hurt. You know that better than anyone else.

Yes, I still cry sometimes, but the tears are not bitter. And it is only for myself. Then I have a little talk with Dad, Mom, or grandmother and I feel better.

We were so lucky to have the parents and grandparents we had. Nothing can take that away from us. Soon you will be able to smile when you remember your mother.

Until then, know Bart and I are with you, feeling your pain and loving you every minute.

Our friends are like angels,Who brighten our days.In all kinds of wonderful,Magical ways.

Their thoughtfulness comes,As a gift from above.And we feel we're surrounded,

By warm, caring love.

Like upside-down rainbows,

Their smiles bring the sun.

And they fill ho-hum moments,

With laughter and fun.

Friends are like angels,

Without any wings.

Blessing our lives,

With the most precious things!

The Keeper of Friendship

In a friendship

We're free to expose,

Parts of ourselves

Nobody else knows.

But the thing that sustains it

And sets it apart,

Is not something spoken

It's a bond of the heart.

True friends are rare

In a lifetime two or three,

I'm so glad it happened

Between you and me!

Oh, for the wings of a bird we cry,

to carry us off to an untroubled sky

Where we can dwell untouched by careand always be free as a bird in the air,.

But there is a legend that's very old,

not often heard and seldom told,

That once all birds were wingless, too,

unable to soar through skies of blue,

They too were powerless to fly--

until one day the Lord came by

And laid at the feet of the singing birds

gossamer wings as He spoke these words,

"Come take these burdens so heavy now,

but if you bear them you'll learn somehow

That as you wear them they'll grow light

and soon you can lift yourselves into flight."

So, folding the wings beneath their hearts

and after endless failures and starts,

They lifted themselves and found with delight

the wings that were heavy had grown so light.

So whenever you cry for the wings of a bird,

remember this little legend you've heard

And let God give you a heart that sings

as He turns your burdens to silver wings.

I have just read your post on the woman who is dying from cancer. I am sick and depressed over this situation and I hope that she will pass away without pain.

I too am a victim of the same breast implant. I run a chat group for women with the same implant. We are all extremely worried about the future of our health with regard to many diseases including of course cancer. Scattered reports are now beginning to surface as cancer does have an incubation period. While reading the post I was confused about the sequence of events in which Little flower developed her cancer. Can you please explain her breast implants history to me so I may have it for my files. Also do you have any specific medical information that would prove that the Meme implant either caused or aggravated a pre existing cancer. How old is Little Flower? Please send her my love and tell her that she is not alone. She has many frightened and ill blood sisters out there. I am deeply saddened that she had to become an experiment at the hands of greedy corporations and plastic surgeons. Please tell her that we will continue to fight until the proper people are punished for this. Our prayers are with you Little Flower. Hugs and lots of love and may peace be with you.

Seeing your website with pictures of her cancer on her shoulder, reminded me of Uneeda's friend who just died from cancer of the collarbone. Wonder if her's were also Meme implants. I hope both of these are reported to the FDA.

My prayers are with her and her family and friends.

To Little Flower,When I hear that name, it reminds me of my own first name, which is Theresa. I was named for Saint Theresa, who was called the Little Flower.

So, Little Flower, I have always believed in the adage, "Grow where you are planted." We have to live and die with the knowledge that we are right where God wants us to be. He planned our lives before we ever existed. We can never understand why thing happen or the timing of events. We just have to trust that we are in loving hands, and our lives affect everyone we come in contact with. Rest in his arms and claim his peace, and know that you are not alone.

I will keep you and your family in my heart and prayers. I will also continue to pray that light will come to this issue, and that no more women will lose all that is precious to them. God bless you.

Warm hugs,

Little Flower,What a beauiful name that is for such a beautiful person that you are !I am so sorry for what you are going through you do not deserve for this to happen to you, If I could change what has happened to you and the rest of us as a result of breast implants I would do it in a minute. I know that must be so hard for you but please try and be strong for the life we live here on earth does not compare to the eternal life we will live in the beautiful heaven above. God will have a place for you where there is no more pain and suffering and implants are not needed to make one beautiful, he gives us a knew body that is more beautiful than anything imaginable are that any doctor could possibly do for us. I know that you do not won't to leave your loved ones behind but one day you will be reunited. My sister was murdered in 1984 and it left me so empty inside but God filled that special place in my heart with his love and still lets me feel the warmth of my sister's love, I still talk to her and look at her pictures and in someway I feel that she hears me because at times it is almost as if she were standing right beside of me with her arms opened wide waiting to hold me once again. Even though I can't see her I know that through God and prayer he is keeping her safe and he let me know that she is now at peace and is very happy and that she does not won't to come back to the place where we call home, she is waiting for us to join her at her knew home with God. So please know that there is so much more happiness where you will be going to your knew home it is not the end but a whole new beginning for you where you will not be in anymore pain. I know that the thought of dying is scary for you, but since my sister died and I know now a little of what it is like for her I welcome the thought of leaving this world where I can call heaven my home. Let your family know that you love them but it will not be the end for God also has a place for you and for them when their time comes. I will be praying for you and you will always be in my thought's and in my heart. I have never written a letter to anyone like this before so I am not sure of what to say but that we all love you and that God loves you too. I will remember you as Little Angel Flower because that is what you will be an Angel.

With all my Love and a BIGGG HUGGG FOR YOU,

For family little flowerMay gods grace pour over you like healing oil and give your love and strength,Rest in the knowledge your loved one is with the lord and so happy and so healthy and soon so busy....having fun and being productive.

You miss her as you are left behind, it is like a divorce, a move, a habit to see her, and you have it in your mind, but y our mind will heal and you must not let her death. kill your love for each other and for God. and to rest in peace that God is love and God never is early and God is never late, it is appointed unto us the day we will die.

And your precious one does not want your lives ruined by her passing, yes passing from one room to another, she is happy and she will see you come over.

And you all will be happy, no tears in heaven, lots of joy unspeakable.

Your tears and brokeness are natural, when there is time to pray like king David, pray, but when his son was dead, he washed himself and said now no need to pray he is with the Lord.

So we all will go truth this and I don’t even know how I would feel. people say they know how you feel well they don’t.

I know that God’s word is true and the above things, God said and think on the living and remember her as the wonderful witness and wonderful person she is and how she graced your life but don’t think on accidents and it isn’t fair and so on.no one is guaranteed an amount of years her work was done, she did it and god took her home.

Father I thank you for y our faithfulness and I thank you for blessing the loved ones of the little flowers , I thank you for your word that we don’ have to wonder and guess, but that we are assured you will never leave us or forsake us.

Father I thank you for her life, and her family and her works and her faith and I thank you for the great COMFORTER. that comes now. and always in our times of trouble if we are in this world we will have trouble but rejoice as our names are written in the LAMBS BOOK OF LIFE. and no one can erase it, ever.

Father I thank you that your word goes out and accomplished it for which it was sent and that y our word does not return void. there is life in the word.

I thank you this is all done now. in heaven as it you declared and in earth to comfort this family and loved ones amen and amen. so be it.
