In 1984, he and Jessie moved to AZ where he went " cold turkey " to stop drugs. Several years ago, he had heart surgery. I did not realize he had been married 4 times.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2002 Report Share Posted February 14, 2002 That happened to my cousin also. She was 13 when she was diagnosed with Type 1 and fought it like crazy. Never ate right, wouldn't take her shots like she should. She died a couple of years ago at 40 years of age. She was losing her eyesight, her hair, she needed a kidney transplant and had lost a few toes. She was on dialysis. It is sad to have that happen to loved ones. She and I were the same age. ----- Original Message ----- To: <diabetes > > My friend type 1 told me last week about her friend who is 25 years old. > They have amputated her foot and she is blind.

When he got on the bus instead of the plan, Big Bopper said -- hope you have fun on that cold bus -- and Waylon replied " I hope you all die " . This haunted him ever since then (heard this on Fox news). I know his death was reported as having to do with complications of diabetes but I think a $1500 a day coke habit had to contribute as well.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2002 Report Share Posted February 17, 2002 The coke people of the 80's are still young so they are not really sure how they will age and what affects this will have on them.sus -----Original Message----- From: vm3dlady I know his death was reported as having to do with complications of diabetes but I think a $1500 a day coke habit had to contribute as well.
