Hey Scott!!! I think it's a freakin' AWESOME video... I posted about it on the heart/lung forum -- but I should have mentioned it here to: http://www.transplantbuddies.org/tbx/messages/5/71495.html?1250213362 Your video about our friend, Melissa, is very moving... Her letter to her donor, Chloe, is just beautiful -- a video of her reading that letter was an awesome idea -- you did a wonderful job putting this together!!! Love, Steve

Scott: Steve did post your new video and I watched it. It was wonderful. I wish your videos could be played nationally. They are so good and so compelling. The ads we have around here in Ohio are so boring that I don't even want to watch them and I NEED organs. You are very talented and I am so thankful that you put so much time and effort into Organ Donation Awareness. Both you and Steve make an awesome pair when it comes to spreading the word about Organ Donation. Thank you both so very much!! God Bless!

Hi Risa!!! I agree with you -- it is a beautiful and loving letter... Melissa contributes to Revive Hope with me... The letter she read is how I "met" Melissa... I asked her to write to me about her experience, and about her donor -- so that I might tell a little of her story on Revive Hope. She did so in the form of a letter to Chloe, her donor... I posted that letter here... It was so beautiful that we asked her if she would be interested in contributing regularly... And, in a wonderful, inspired thought -- she and Scott decided to use that first letter for her video... It was beautiful to read -- it is more beautiful to hear her read it to Chloe... I know that Melissa will be touched by your comment, and Karen's... And you can be certain that I will see that she gets them... Love, Steve
