I am a donor father because our oldest daughter, Kellie, was a selfless organ donor.
Upon graduating from high school, Kellie moved to Philadelphia and met her future husband, David Jones. In her early 20s, Kellie developed uterine cancer. Fortunately, she survived the cancer, but was unable to have children. A few years later, David died of a heart attack.
Kellie was only 37 years old when she passed away on Jan. 6, 2014. Two days earlier, she had fallen, hit her head and developed a brain bleed. She was airlifted to Lehigh Valley Medical Center; we arrived to fi nd her in a coma. We spent the next two days praying for her to recover, but she never did. During this terrible time, I found out that Kellie was an organ donor. As a family, we spoke to representatives of the Gift of Life, an organ procurement organization, who explained, step by step, the process of recovering her organs that were suitable for transplant.
