I love the lyrics of Seasons of Life and it is the song I listen to over and over while I go through the final journey with my sister:
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes,
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Moments so dear.
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?
In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights
In cups of coffee
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.
In five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure
A year in the life?
Why must it come to this? The end of a life, the pain it brings to those who have loved the person at sometime in that person's life...
Betti's disease and impending death is due to BENZENE. Her AML (leukemia) is BENZENE INDUCED and thus resistant to ALL CHEMO DRUGS.
Burlington Northern, GLNX Corporation, NOVA Corporation and NOVACOR CHEMICALS are responsible. In a class action suit that was filed in 1992 and settled LESS THAN ONE YEAR LATER...these companies put the price of EACH LIFE at approximately $1000.
The plaintiff attorneys ROLLED OVER, one now has made so much in litigating class actions he OWNS A PLANE...wish we had access to the plane for Betti.
Because BURLINGTON NORTHERN IS SUPERIOR WISCONSIN, a TWENTY EIGHT THOUSAND TON BENZENE SPILL was quickly hushed up and covered up. The WORKING POOR of Superior and surrounding area were signed up quickly for a class action suit and within 10 months told that they either take their approximate $1000 each, or they would NEVER get anything.
Talking to the oncologist here there is a tremendous increase in cancers in the past 5 years.
I am so very, very angry. Knowing that the end is near, knowing that there have been lies and continue to be even TODAY...wondering if things would have been different if Betti had not FALLEN at the hospital...my brother and I contend it caused the brain-bleed...
My sister giving up and refusing all care, hospice included.
Waiting...waiting for the end....
FUCK Burlington Northern and their condesending behavior toward me, the attorneys who 'can't remember' or more likely DON'T WANT TO, to GLNX and NOVA and their attorneys...how DARE you tell me it WASN'T A BIG DEAL.
My sister is dying and there is NO HOPE.
I apologize in advance for typos and how quickly this is written, it is done as a rant and I only have 15 minutes on a library computer....
Please make these companies aware that we will make the ACCOUNTABLE FOR BETTI'S DEATH...
