Hi All, Yesterday was my 5th 're-birthday', as we call it at our house. Saturday was the day my donor Jody died. I have been in contact with his Mother, but not formally. I know her name as well. Last week, I randomly came across the place where I had put her notes, and noticed something I had not before. A clue to where they were from. I think he wanted me to find it. Thursday I wrote her a letter, and sent it to Duke. Later that afternoon, it occurred to me to put the new info in google, and wham! First hit on the page was his memorial site. My sister, who was with me that fateful day, is a blond named Gail who lives in Georgia. So is Jody's Mom. This site was very tearful for me, especially video of him playing guitar and goofing off. The things his Mom has written are heart wrenching. I can only thank he and Gail again for their courageous and loving decision, and am bound to keep part of Jody alive in this world, as he has done for me. http://jody-summers.last-memories.com/

AJS, Simply incredible. I think I'd probably cry for hours if I came across my anonymous donor in that manner. God Bless!!
