If people only realized how donating organs mean for passing life on..
Here in FL when you get your driver license renewed they ask if you want to be a organ donor. Hey they can have whatever they want when I am gone if it meant a better quality of life for someone else. Our dear friend died in May, he was only 49. He had a fall and caused brain damage and was a vegetable. Thanks to the stamp on his drivers license, it was easier for his family in any decission of what to do. From what we were told Mark who lived in OK helped 14 people in their quality of life. God Bless Mark. For all I know it could be one of you out there. We were heartbroken when he died, but knowing he gave life to other was a little easier to accept what had happened. So hope people say "YES" when getting their license renewed for being a Donor and pass life on. We all thank you.
