Not sure if this is the right place to post this if not mods you can move it.
After a bad day at dialysis I came home and was told by my brother that my mom has passed away. I was setting here thinking about her and her life and i remember something i totaly forgot. Ever since she got her drivers license she has always checked the doner box so yes she is a organ doner. So maybe in death her organs will save somebodys life. Thanks mom you always thought of others before yourself.

I'm sooo sorry to hear about your Mom.  My Dad passed away a year ago this month.  I feel that your Mom is going to be blessing some very needy people and knowing that, I hope that give you comfort.

Good health is just the slowest possible rate at which you can die.

I hope her organs were able to save a life.  What a wonderful thing she did.  I am so very sorry for your loss.  I lost my mom this year, too.  Let's celebrate the end of this hideous year.

Thanks everbody for your kind words. Been very hard here the past few days everybody is running around going crazy. I am thankful for my IHD family to give me support and I am happy my mom's organs can be used by people who need them her legacy will live on in other people. Don't know who got them don't know if they will contact us. Mom was always thinking of others more than herself A big  :grouphug; for my IHD  family
