Thank you all for your support and care.... this site helped Rich in his darkest hours .. some place where he knew there were other people who understood and really cared... I know that from those I've talked to ....and that's alot of people through this experience... they are all commited to signing up as donors as a result of Rich's story.... and I don't plan on stopping asking people to go have their drivers licenses changed with that box checked that says ... donor.... We live in this amazing world together and we need each other more than we often realize.... with the deepest of love *kathy
