Todd

In December 2005, my cousin Todd passed away, somewhat unexpectedly, after struggling with an arterio-venous malformation (AVM) in his brain. He left behind a wife and 2 kids. As sad as it was that Todd had left us, his funeral was an uplifting celebration of his life, but more importantly, the life he found through Jesus. There is no doubt where Todd is today, and while the Lord gave him time on earth, he sure did his best to be a light in this dark world.

Todd donated his liver and his lungs (and possibly other organs). One year after his passing, his family received a uplifting letter from the man who received his liver. Now, two years later, his family got to meet the man who now has his lungs. Todd's family writes "It is once again a reminder of God's work in seeing how he used a piece of Todd to sustain another life. To finally meet the family and see them face to face was joyous, amazing and affirming of God's great plan."
