"My son passed away at the age of 26. He had Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy. He was the most compassionate person I've ever met, with a heart of gold and a smile that could light up a room. He knew he would go to be with Jesus and wanted his body to be used in hopes to find a cure for muscular dystrophy. He loved his 3 nieces and his family. He touched many people and brought so many people to God. He was and is a wonderful person. I miss him dearly. He will forever be in my heart."

"On Thanksgiving day in 1990, my mom had a heart attack. A few days after, I asked her what she wants if she ever needed life support. Her own words were, "don't leave me around with any damn tubes coming out of me unless there is something the doctors can do to help me. If they can't help me, send my body someplace where I can help someone else because I won't need it anymore." When my mom was placed in a nursing home in 2001, I remembered her wishes when she was given a year to live. In 2009 I …read more
