Dear Heidi - my deepest sympathies go out to you and your family. Bless
you all for donating Noah's organs. What a selfless, loving and
courageous act of kindness to strangers when you are in so much pain.
Surely God does have plans for Noah, because he must be a very special
baby, since he has such wonderful parents. I wish you peace and
healing. Alison

This is a very difficult experience to go through, losing a child. And having this great feeling of loss, has brought my husband and myself to the decision to have Noah's organs donated. If he can save the life of a child or children, then my heart will be at peace. We were blessed with him in our lives for 9 weeks, now it is time for him to go on and do what has been planned for him, help other children.
