On a serious note....

As a follow up to my post the other day about my MOH's nephew overdosing, I wanted to thank everyone who sent such nice FMs and for the condolences. I have passed them on to the family. Michael passed last night after being removed from life support. He was only 18 years old.

If any good came out of this, its that Michael's organs were harvested and they went to 7 recipients. His liver, heart, kidneys, lungs, pancreas and bones were all donated to save others.

If you are not already an organ donor, please consider being one. As many of your know, my father-in-law died while waiting for a new heart this past September. He was 54.

Thanks everyone. Sorry to be such a downer

Hoping everyone can take comfort that his life has now touched 7 people's lives in a way they could never even imagine!
