Weekend Plans


This weekend we will travel to Davidson, NC to attend a Donor Sabbath Service at Davidson College Presbyterian Church. Earlier this year my mother in law passed away suddenly and quite unexpectedly. During this difficult time, her sons chose to donate her life giving organs. We had never discussed this topic as a family or with her, but were sure she would want to help someone else if she had an opportunity to. What was a very sad day for us was also the happiest for her liver recipient, Gary. We recently met Gary and his family and have enjoyed getting to know them better and sharing stories about Peggy with them. Gary and his family are devoted to raising awareness for organ donation, as one might imagine. He has a second chance at life because of it. We can watch Peggy's legacy of love and giving continue on and we can honor and remember her at the same time.
