To Remember Me Life can go on in the organ dona-

tion of your loved one to families who are waiting for an organ of life. Hie greatest gift is a gift of yourself to help others.

OnJune2,1995,intheblinkofan eye, our lives were changed fprever. We lost our 40-year-old daughter suddenly, and without warning, while she was (reeling in Alabama. We received the call at 4 a.m. from the ER doctor at Dekalb Baptist Medical Center,FL Payne, Alabama He asked me if we would consider an organ donation. Our immediate response was to take her body and use whatever organs, tissues and other parts that they could use for odi«re. She belie ved, as we do, that although death closes one door, another door is opened. We know that two people can now see, several have been helped by her heart valves and pulmonary valves and bone. After the autopsy the other organs have been transplanted into more people who have been desperately ill. One person's donation can help 100 people.Many people have come to me since the Memorial Service for Cindy and have asked about donating.

We have two beautiful black-haired, dark-eyed little girls to raise. Heather will soon be 9 and Lauren will soon be 8. They have gone to school here previously and will be going to Roundsionc in the fall. Wc deeply appreciate the cards, dona-tions, food andotheroffcrs of help to our family. God bless each and ev-eryone. We arc leaning on the arms of God and he has been very much a part of our lives.

With all of our love, Lu Ed and Dean Nielsen,

Cathy Silmon and Edwin and Donald Nielsen and children Michel, Brand!, Heather &

Lauren, nieces and nephews, also her special friend,

Bruce Phillips.

The day will come when my body will lie upon a white sheet neatly tucked under four comers of a mat-tress located m a hospital busily occupied with the living and the dying. At a certain moment, a doc-tor will determine that my brain has ceased to function and that, for all intents and purposes, my life has stopped.

When that happens, do not at-tempt to instill artificial life into my body by the use of a machine. And don't call this my deathbed. Let it be called the Bed of Life and let my body be taken from it to help others lead fuller lives.

Give my sight to the man who has never seen a sunrise, a baby's face or love in the eyes of a woman.'

Give my heart to a person whose own heart has caused nothing but endless days of pain.

Give my blood to the teenager who was pulled from the wreckage of his car, so that he might live to sec his grandchildren play.

Give my kidneys to one who de-pends on a machine to exist from week to week.

Take my bones, every muscle, every fiber and nerve in my body and find a way to make a crippled child walk.

Explore every cornerof my brain. Take my cclls, if necessary, and let them grow so that, someday, a spccchless boy will shout at the crack of a bat and a deaf girl will hear the sound of rain against her windows.

Bum what Ls left of me and scat-ter the ashes to the winds to help the flowers grow.

If you must bury something, let it be my faults, my weaknesses and all the prejudices against my fellow man.

Give my sins to the devil. Give my soul to God. If by chance, you wish to re-

member me, do it with a kind deed or word to someone who needs you.

If you do all I have asked, I will live forever.
