Butterfly Organ, Tissue and Eye Memorial dedication

In November 2016, Mission Hospital dedicated an Organ, Tissue and Eye Memorial in honor of those who gave their life to save another. The dedication was attended by 250 families and friends of donors whose names are honored on a plaque on the wall behind a beautiful butterfly sculpture named “Lifted Spirits.” Mission Hospital continually honors donors by holding an annual memorial event for the families and friends of recent donors. This is a note received from a mother of one of the honored donors.

“It was such a beautiful ceremony. I don't attend to really anything because it's really hard for me. I'm so glad I made the decision to go. I now see things differently. The man that made his speech about getting his liver made me see things different. How he appreciated his life and not taking anything for granted. I always question my decision, now I know I made the right one. I know there are a couple of girls getting a second chance because of my daughter. They have a second chance of life. And part of my baby lives on. Thank you for honoring our loves one, may God bless you!!!”
