I felt the need to share this precious story of someone whose Dad donated his organs 10 years ago of a bride that got married and the man who received her Dad's heart walked her down the aisle at her wedding, it was very dear. She said she felt as if her Dad was by her side, with his heart beating in the man next to her, as well as in spirit. God bless those who donate, you too Andrew. Reply #22. Aug 07 16, 8:10 PM |

Thank you, Shiningstar, it was a wonderful story that you shared. Thank you also to everyone who has posted. If anyone would like to "sign the card" (so to speak) or even mention as much to a FT teammate or friend, I'm planning to take all the thread's replies at the end of the week, compile them into some neat-looking format and send them to Andrew's parents (with an explanation of what it is / where it came from).

What a very touching tribute. I plan on being a diner and hopefully help someone when I leave this world. May he rest in peace. Reply #24. Aug 09 16, 2:49 AM |

For anyone interested, this (excerpted) was posted earlier to Facebook from Andrew's mother: "We have been surrounded and blessed by the support and love of all our family, friends, neighbors, everyone! It takes a lot of people to push you over a hump as big as this but keep pushing us please. We are in need." Early next week, I'll do what I said I would and send off to his family a copy of any and all replies from this thread. I'll keep everyone posted, no pun intended -- thanks again. Reply #25.

So sorry to read about your cousin. My condolences Giving organs is a way for someone to do one last great thing before they move on. I used to be undecided about it for myself, but in the end could not think of one good reason not to donate. Reply #26. Aug 14 16, 10:34 AM |

Let me add my condolences as well. It's so hard to lose a loved one. I've certainly been there. But it helps to be surrounded by the love and friendship of others! Reply #28. Sep 10 16, 11:30 PM |

Today (July 31) is the one-year anniversary of my cousin Andrew. Even just a couple of weeks ago I have still received occasional FunTrivia Notes from people offering their thoughts, prayers, condolences, and more. I want to take this post both to remember Andrew again, and also to say "thank you" to everyone who has messaged me, posted, or otherwise taken the time to write. I have been amazed at the sheer number of people who, despite not personally knowing me, have come forward to offer their kind words. Thank you all for the outpouring of support. - George Reply #29.

Someone who was truly loved and so obviously loved in return, never really dies because the love will remain. I always enjoy seeing your profile picture because it makes me smile too. What a cheeky chap he is. Remember the happy times and the love. Reply #31. Jul 31 17, 4:26 PM |

I am so sorry for the loss of your wonderful cousin, Andrew, to hyponatremia. My son lost a friend last year to the same cause. I hope more people are made aware that over hydration can be deadly and it can occur quickly. Again, my condolences. Reply #32. Aug 17 17, 3:58 PM |
