Yesterday my sister Linda ( Jonathan’s mom) , our mother Ora ,and myself attended the Lifesharing Day of Remembrance Ceremony at the Salli Lynn Chapel located at The Greenwood Memorial Park & Mortuary . This was to remember those that have passed from us in the last year and have donated organs to help those that are still here live on. It was a difficult but very beautiful morning. Many other families were in attendance to remember their loved ones. There was a video presentation with pictures of those we had lost and donated.
There were two guest speakers. Larry Bourget, who’s son is living today because of a liver transplant 29 years ago and Allyson Watson who survived 2nd and 3rd degree burns over 86% of her body in the 2003 San Diego wildfires. She is also a recipient of organ (skin) donations.(http://allysonwatson.com/about.html) It was a very emotional but inspiring morning which ended with a rose ceremony and a time to mingle with refreshments.
As soon as the video presentation from yesterday is available I will post it here on the blog. Thank you for stopping by Jonathans Dream and I will talk to you again soon.
