Organs of drowned 'angel' donated to other kids

How wonderful of this girl's family to have done this. They have, through their devastating loss, given hope and life to 5 other children and their families.

It reminded me of the folowing...



To Remember Me

�At a certain moment a doctor will determine that my brain has ceased to function and that, for all intents and purposes, my life has stopped.

�When that happens, do not attempt to instill artificial life into my body by the used of a machine. And don�t call this my �deathbed�. Call it my �bed of life�, and let my body be taken from it to help others lead fuller lives.

�Give my sight to a man who has never seen a sunrise, a baby�s face or love in the eyes of a woman.

�Give my heart to a person whose own heart has caused them nothing but endless days of pain.

�Give my blood to the teenager who has been pulled from the wreckage of has car, so that he may live to see his grandchildren play.

�Give my kidneys to one who depends on a machine to exist from week to week.

�Take my bones, every muscle, every fibre and nerve in my body and find a way to make a crippled child walk.

�Explore every corner of my brain. Take my cells, if necessary, and let them grow so that someday a speechless boy will shout at the crack of a bat and a deaf girl will hear the sound of rain against her windows.

�Burn what is left of me and scatter the ashes to the winds to help the flowers grow.

�If you must bury something, let it be my weaknesses and all prejudice against my fellow man.

�Give my soul to God.

�If by chance you wish to remember me, do it with a kind deed or word to someone who needs you. If you do all that I have asked I will live forever.
