Donating YT 30K Club Member | Saturday was one month since Ken's passing Saturday was an especially hard day for me as it was one month since I lost Ken. But one bright spot, in Saturday's mail I received a letter from the Illinois Eye Bank. They sent a nice letter thanking me for the compassionate and generous act of donating Ken's eyes. They said because of the donation a second chance for sight was given to a Monroe,Michigan woman and a Troy, Michigan woman. SO that made the day a little easier. I want to thank everyone one again for all the prayers, personal notes, thoughts and cards. You all made each day a little easier during Ken's battle. I am once again asking for prayers for strength for me as I grieve his loss. It is the hardest thing I have ever faced.

| Patti, you are still so much in my thoughts and prayers. I know anniversaries of all kinds are so hard after losing a loved one. Holidays, too. I always hope and pray that you are eating, sleeping, feeling safe at night and that God will comfort you when you aren't. As a sister of a wonderful woman who went blind at middle age and sees the wreck that blindness can make of a what was a rich and full, artistic life, the donating of Ken's eyes is particularly wonderful to me. What a beautiful thing you and Ken did in lovingly providing one of the best gifts there is - the gift of sight. If the transplants are successful, those women could have absolutely new leases on life! I continue to hold you up in prayer. God bless you.

| My dear friend...you are so special to me and I feel so utterly bad that you lost Ken and are now on that long and hard journey of grief. I love you, Patti and always pray for God to comfort you. What wonderful news for you to get, knowing two women are able to see again. I'm so thankful to have you as my precious friend...I just wish you weren't going through such heartache and sadness. *HUG*

| We haven't "met" but my heart goes out to you just the same. I hope you find the strength to find eventual acceptance and peace, despite your loss. I hopped on this thread specifically because I lived very close to Monroe, MI for years, and used to work there. A tissue/organ gift is selfless and special no matter what, but it touched me that someone so close to "home" was affected by Ken's gift. |

| Be strong Patti, it is a long road to recovery but you can do it and you will find it gets easier everyday. Having lost both parents at a very young age I can tell you the best advice someone gave me is "do whatever you think feels right and respects the person you lost". I will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I am thankful you have good friends to help you with this journey along with your cute little furbabies.
