His legacy
Your Gift  

I think that the verse selected for your service brochure said it all:
God Saw you
God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be, 
So He put His arms around you
And whispered "Come with Me:.

With tearful eyes we watched you suffer
And saw you fading fast away;
Although we loved you dearly
We would not make you stay.

A Gold Heart stopped beating 
Hard Working Hands to rest, 
God broke our hearts to prove to us .......
HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST.


This is so true and couldn't be said any better.  One of the greatest part of your legacy is the GIFT OF HOPE we were able to give to others when your organs were donated.  Through that gift of your liver a 31 year old man will get to see his child grow up, something he might not have been able to do otherwise.  Through the gift of your right kidney a 49 year old man will be able to spend the future with his wife and children.  Through the gift of your left kidney a 60 year old woman will have more time with her family.  It was a generous gift to these families and I know they will be forever greatful and for me it means that you live on.
