Words cannot describe the joy I feel knowing that Dustin wishes have come true and he has saved so many lives. What a true hero! Many to you mom! You, Dustin and your family continue to be in my prayers... now I have the recipients in my prayers too.

My Internet has been down for some time now and this is the first thread that I am reading (after my PMs). What a wonderful expression of all that is good in the human spirit!! That you should rejoice in others receiving joy from your grief is precious!! May the Lord continue to fill you with His joy and peace. Thanks so much for sharing something so precious with us.

Lori, I just wanted to tell you I think of you everyday. I have shared Dustin's story with family and friends. Everyone agrees that you have been an incredible Mom. Dustin lives on because you thought of others in your worst time.

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived.
