okay we mark the day that Sam’s strong heart, liver and kidney’s helped save 4 other peoples lives.  The decision to opt for organ donation was the easiest and hardest  decision we ever had to make . We knew that Sam with his generous spirit would want that. 

Organ donation is an amazing process of matching and caring  for two people, the donor and recipient .   One of the most important components is to know what the donor would have wanted. 

you can honor Sam’s memory by having that conversation with your loved ones. Make sure they know what you would want if you are ever in that situation.. and I hope yo never will be

You can also honor Sam’s memory by giving bloo. Itoccurred to me recently is that there’s one way almost everyone can “donate life”.. Thats through blood donation. It’s one of the only ways you can donate something from yourself to save another persons life and do it again and again . The Red Cross thought that was interesting and wrote this story about Sam, Organ donation and blood donation  


We are in Oregon visiting Gabe..Today our friend Pat sent this photo and movie a friend made today of a rainbow hitting our house..   Its just the way Sam would send his love 🙂

Thank you Sam.. we love you !

nite all, nite sam
