European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - January 14, 1993, Darmstadt, Hesse Ann Landers dear Ann Landers on sept. 19, 1990, our 10-year-did son was declared brain dead after undergoing surgery for a brain tumor. After we accepted the fact that he was not going to survive he had already been through a previous brain operation our car tug compassionate neurosurgeon asked us in the most gentle and humane fashion if we would consider donating our songs organs. The decision was made quickly and without regret. So Why am i writing we have never heard a word from any of the recipients even though we wrote a letter to each of them sharing a bit of the history of our songs life. The letters were sent anonymously through our transplant coordinator to each of the six recipients. We donated his heart kidneys pancreas and Corneas in a sure that the families of the recipients experienced a great Deal of trauma but just a Brief note to say the person who received the transplant is doing Well even though it has been almost two years would mean so much to us. Certainly Ann we Are not the Only donor family who would appreciate this. And its never too late no matter How Long ago the transplant took place. By contacting the transplant coordinator for the Case letters can be sent to the donor families thus protecting the anonymity of the donor. Ann i Hope you will get the word out. Would mean a lot a still grieving paso Robles Calif.
