Remember when I said you’ll never get out of this life alive? You won’t. Whatever your expectation of what happens after death, or wherever you think you’re going, you will not need your organs. But someone else does, and that person is anxiously awaiting a lifesaving organ transplant. Please go to OrganDonor.gov in the US or BeaDonor.ca in Canada to give someone the miraculous gift of life that Erwin gave to me.
