Tammy Faye dead

[DaemonSeid]

she was cremated actually:

King said the family postponed the death announcement for a day so family members could gather. Messner was cremated and interred in a remote part of Kansas at the Kansas-Oklahoma state line, King said.

u know...and not trying to be funny or mean spirited....I wonder with all the heavy makeup she wore for the longest time is such excess, if that may have been a cause of her cancer....

Are you serious? Make-up causing cancer?

Skin conditions (as in acne), maybe. Cancer, no.

Generally speaking, cancer comes from genetics. There are often other factors involved, but recent studies suggest that cancer is found in patients with a genetic predisposition. Also, cervical cancer is unique in the sense that it is commonly created by a virus left untreated (HPV).


Tammy Faye was a cool lady, I hope her family finds solace in the fact she is a much better place.

I think so, so unless she was smoking her mascara, I don't think the make-up had anything to do with it.

She had colon cancer and it spread to her lungs.

The family didn't let the news out until after she was cremated so that the family could have their time with her, instead of the media invading their mourning.

You've probably seen one of those emails that talk about the brands of lipstick that have high levels of lead. It's a hoax.

Are you really naive enough to believe that make-up companies would be in business if their products were toxic?

And no, you are not allowed to compare the dangers of Cover Girl to the dangers of Marlboro. They are in no way related because make-up is used on a mass-basis, where as tobacco isn't. Plus you have to be 18 to buy cigs, not foundation.

I just.. I .. can't even.. fathom.. why you would even remotely think something so ludicrous.

I'm not purposefully trying to be rude, but I've just never heard of such a silly idea.
