Our brother Emmitt left this earth tragically at the young age of 13 in December 1986. Our mother was only able to donate his eyes and we received a letter right before Christmas that year telling us two boys were given sight. It was at this time that I made my decision to donate! I was 15 at the time and still feel the same way today at age 50.
To me, this is a gift to the living as once we pass we no longer need the physical body as our soul has moved on to the next realm.
