Today I received a letter that filled my eyes with tears of gratitude. It was a thank you letter from the Eye Bank of Canada, notifying me that Chris' donated corneas have restored the gift of sight to two individuals in Ontario. "Your husband's legacy has given light where once there was darkness and hope where once there was despair."Chris and I were both long-time advocates of organ donation awareness. As many of you know, Chris received a kidney in 1994 from a deceased donor whose grieving family gave him that treasured and generous gift. Now Chris himself has in turn become a donor, giving the gift of his 20/20 vision.
In honour of Chris, please consider organ donation and - most importantly - talk to your family about your wishes.

Sandra that's amazing :). Can you imagine the gratitude of someone who was once blind and can now see thanks to Chris' selflessness.
Carpe Diem indeed!
