From Jim's Facebook Page- Tuesday April 9th
As I have posted my wife and I have lost our little Shanny girl a few days ago. Shannon was truly an amazing little girl so full of life and love and such a giver. Given these qualities and after much thought we decided to let her be a donor.
For this decision we got word today that her heart is going to a 2 year old little girl, her lungs to a 6 year old, liver to 3 year old and her kidneys one each to 2 adults. Our little angel is answering the prayers of five families. As we were told today she is truly a miracle.
To be honest, for our own selfish reasons, we would gladly take her life back answering our own prayers and not answer the call for donors. Having said that it does not stop the pain nor the empty heart I have but it does give me some comfort knowing my little girl will truly live on in my heart as well as the lives of others. She was so special in life and even now in her death. She was our angel and I will miss her until my last breath.
