LOPA: Our Heroes

Our Heroes

To All Donor Families:

Please accept my deepest sympathy on the death of your loved one. Their life will be remembered, not only by family and friends, but by the many lives that were so deeply touched as a result of the gifts given through organ and tissue donation.

The gift of organ and tissue donation is an act of quiet heroism. Please know the memory of your love one will be treasured. This section of our website is for those cherished memories-a place to honor and to remember individuals that have saved and enhanced lives. Please feel free to send the story of your hero and a photo to: lharrison@lopa.org.

I appreciate beyond words that you have given to others during your time of grief. It is my hope that you find strength and comfort in the days ahead.

With deepest admiration,

Kelly Ranum
Executive Director
