I am not sure how many of you felt the same way I did when I heard the news of this young lady. I was glad to see GOL released this statement, because it reflects the way I feel very closely. My first thoughts were not with the error that occured, but with the donor families involved. One of my main reasons for agreeing to donate Joe's organs was for us to have the chance to 'see' a part of Joe live on in others. That chance did not happen for the families who donated in this case. I don't know how I would've felt in that situation, I struggled with the fact that I didn't know if I did what Joe wanted us me to do......and if one of the recipients would've died right away, I'm not sure how I would've reacted to it. Maybe some of you would like to share your thoughts on this subject. I know it was been brought up to our family many times this past week or two, and it is very difficult to discuss when things go wrong. I will continue to pray for the donor families, as well as Jesica's family.
Joe's Mom
