Moment of Silence

 

The Moment of Silence honors those who give the gift of life

while remembering their families. It is our Hope that reflecting

on one very generous life will lead to deeper reflection and even

greater generosity, ultimately transforming us and our

world. This moment serves to remind all of us on the care and

recovery teams of our role in passing on the heroic gift of life

from one human being to another.

 

We now take a moment together as we face our shared efforts

and mutual hope of saving lives and healing others. We extend

respect to the donor, the donor's family, the recipients and their

families. We gather to honor Brian Oldham and the gift of life to

be shared.

 

The family of Brian Oldham offered these thoughts by which we

donation for this family.
