Peggy,

What a sweet story. Thank you for sharing this with us. This gives us a

renewed faith in mankind.

I thought this was nice

Hey guys,

I just wanted to pass along this sweet story. On the day my son, Jonah went

in the hospital last week, we passed ambulances going toward our community.

Well, little did I know at the time that they were going to the home of one

of my neighbors. I grew up in this area and now have built my home there,

so I have known this man for quite some time. He had had a heart attack and

was transported to a hospital very close to where Jonah was. My parents

made trips between both hospitals while Jonah was still there. Well on

Monday of this week, the man passed away. He was 82 years old and had lived

a very healthy life. His wish, we found out later was for the money that

would be spent on flowers for his funeral to be donated to Cystic Fibrosis

Research. His son is the head of company in my hometown and my brother is

also a supervisor there, so there was a collection taken up today throughout

the plant. I am not sure how much was raised, but I will find out later

today. This really touched my heart that someone other than family would

care enough about my family to have this as their end wish.

Take Care,

Peggy

Isn't it nice to know that people did care. My cousin's Aunt made that same

request and I was shocked! I didn't realize she even knew the kids had CF. I

hope in death I am remembered for being thoughtful.........not just funny and

with great wit.......I mean with a dimwit!!

it's day to day living that wears you out.
