Donor Wall Memorial
On Saturday we went to Salt Lake to the Donor Memorial. They had a little program and a few speakers and then unveiled a glass wall with my brother Dave's Name on it. Here is Dave's family... Heidi, Lasca, Kaymin, Joecee, Stryder and Brogan.

One of the speakers was a heart transplant recipient. It was so great to hear how much the transplant has impacted her life and how grateful she was for the opportunity to live and spend time with her family. I have said this many times but I am so happy that Dave had the opportunity to save 5 people.
Heidi recently received a letter from the man who received Dave's Lung. It was amazing. I smiled and cried while I read it. He expressed how sad he was for the family but also how grateful he was to receive a lung. He had been hooked to oxygen for years and now he doesn't have to be and he can spend time in the outdoors fly fishing and spending time with his grandkids. He said he was so grateful for the gift to breathe.
What a great Gift!
