donate life

I hope everyone who reads this have signed an organ donor card. Our grandson, Jake, passed away on August 16th 2007. Holly and Andy donated his organs and because of this, a little boy in Iowa has his heart. Beckham is doing well and is now almost 1 1/2 years old and a beautiful little boy. His family has welcomed us into their hearts and we have been able to watch his progress through their blog. It gives us some comfort to know that although we lost our little Jake, something good came from his death. We are so proud of Holly and Andy for the wonderful gift they gave, for giving hope and life to a family that needed it so badly. If you haven't already check the back of your drivers liscence and gone on line to donate life, please do so. Some day you may be rewarded with the gift of life yourself.

  1. I just got my NYS Enhanced DL and you better believe I signed that box for being an organ donor! There really is no other choice. Not only did Beckham get Jake's heart, but two people had their sight restored because of Jake. What an amazing little boy our little guy was.

    Mom, nice job. Photos are pretty easy to upload. I can give you a blogspot tutorial when you guys come down next time (on our new laptop!).
