Ronnie Berry
Tissue Donor
/July 5, 2025
For anyone that knew my daddy he would give you the shirt off his back. He was always such a selfless man and taught me so much about being the same. When the time came to make the decision about him being a donor I knew that if dad could make a difference in helping someone, he would do it. He didn’t have it marked on his license, but I knew my daddy was about helping others in need. I hope whoever received the tissues they were able to retrieve from my dad sees this one day and knows just how much his love for others went and if they ever get the opportunity to help someone in need they do so.
Saying thank you
Many donor families find that corresponding with the transplant recipient or recipients can be a powerful experience. Donor families can take comfort in sharing stories and sending well wishes to those who live on because of their loved one.
Should you choose to connect, we're here to help. Letters and cards can be a tremendous gift to both the donor families and recipients. To protect everyone, we provide guidelines for communication. Names remain confidential unless both parties agree to share those with one another, and we provide a correspondence address. We are happy to share sample letters to help you get started.
