Be Part Of A Miracle, By Becoming
An Organ And Tissue Donor
TO THOSE OF US THAT HAVE BEEN THROUGH THE
TRANSPLANT OPERATION, TO THE PATIENTS THAT ARE
WAITING, AND THE ONES THAT ARE JUST GOING INTO
THEIRS. THE FOLLOWING IS A SAYING THAT I HAVE HAD
FOR MANY YEARS. TO ME THIS IS WHAT IT IS REALLY ALL
ABOUT. WITH THE DONOR PROGRAM AND FAITH IN GOD,
WE ARE A CHOSEN FEW.
ALWAYS THINK POSITIVE, KEEP A POSITIVE ATTITUDE NO
MATTER HOW ADVERSE THE CONDITIONS. LIFE CAN BE VERY
CRUEL AND MEAN, BUT WE HAVE TO GET A FIRM GRIP ON
ADVERSITY AND BEAT IT. A POSITIVE ATTITUDE BREEDS
POSITIVE THINGS, A NEGATIVE ATTITUDE BRINGS PAIN AND
FEAR. IN OUR POSITION THERE IS NO ROOM FOR NEGATIVE
THOUGHTS. KEEP THE FAITH MY FRIENDS AND NOTHING BUT
GOOD WILL HAPPEN.

Heart Transplant August 28, 1994
On May 8,1995
I had my middle name changed to "Craig" to honor my heart donor,
and to keep his name alive like his heart is keeping me alive,And now
that I have moved back to my birth place, in August 2005 I changed
my name back to my given name to be laid to rest beside my mother
and grandparents with my given name.

If we fill our hours with regrets over the
failures and disappointments of yesterday
and worries over the problems of tomorrow.
we have no time to be thankful for the laughter
and sunshine, love and joy of today.
