Stephen Update

This morning at 6:30 am Stephen went into surgery after being declared legally brain dead. Wendy quietly sang Arms of an Angel by Sarah McLachlan and then we walked him down as a group. His body fought for 2 days to enable him to donate his organs in the best way. As I write this two patients are receiving his kidneys and are being given a chance at life. Stephens’s heart stopped at 7:36 am. My family was all together at our parents.

Stephen found a way even in death to help others. He gave so much strength to so many.

This does not end here. Together with Stephens’s spirit continuing to guide us we will take this disease apart and destroy it.
