Good to hear from you. What a mutual blessing your community is!

I think how you and your neighbors are handling this entire situation is inspirational.

Thanks for letting us know how your friend is doing. She is truly blessed to have such great friends and supportive community.

She has been on my mind and in my prayers. You are a good friend, and she needs friends right now. Give her a hug from me.

You are a wonderful friend. Your friend is lucky to have you and the others to go through this journey.

Just remember that she is in a state of shock right now. In the months to come, it will probably get tougher. I know you will be there for her when that time comes. She is lucky to have you.

You're the definition of a good friend, Raven.

Thanks for the update Raven. Your neighbor has been on my mind and in my prayers. You sure have wonderful people in your neighborhood to rally around her in her time of need and I know you will all continue to be with her. What a great friend you are.

Thank you for the update, Raven. It's so inspirational to hear how you and your neighbors have supported your friend during this tragedy. So many times people don't know what to say or do. She is so lucky to have you all to share her grief.

Thank you for the update. You are a wonderful and supportive friend. I hope your neighbor finds peace in the days, weeks and months ahead.

So good to hear that she's moving through the needed steps. The celebration sounds so good to me. If she is going to do a go fund me I'd like to help. Lucky her to have you. :)

She's lucky to have a friend like you. How long were they married?

I was so very sorry to read about this poor woman's tragedy. How lucky she is to have dear friends like you, Raven! I hope you all will be able to continue to support her through her grief and loneliness as that will increase after the service. You all are wonderful.

Sounds like she is on the road to healing. Good she has all of you for support.

I can't imagine the shock! You are a wonderful neighbor, and I know you'll *continue* to be in close and frequent communication with this lady.

When you related that the deceased was an organ donor I began to wonder if the helicopter to hospital is due to that notation on his driver's license. (They would need to sustain his organs until they could be harvested.) I wonder if the costs for this would be paid by the organization receiving the organs.

Lilly I am not sure but I have been friends with them for 10 years and they were married quite a few years before that, I would guess at least 20 or more. He was older than her. The house they live in here was his mother and fathers home. They moved in to care for his mother till she passed then decided to stay here. That is why she didn't have a job she was the care giver.

Chisue, I don't think so because they told her they were not able to harvest any of his organs. Not sure if it was because he was gone too far too long or why. But luckily the medical school was able to take him. So he is providing education to our future physicians. So his wishes are being met.

Thanks!

Thank you for the update Raven. She is very lucky to have such caring neighbors. I agree with Georgeysmom, I think she is probably in shock. I'm afraid at some point, probably sooner than later, that this is going to hit her like a ton of bricks. She will really need all your love and caring then.

Continued prayers for your friend that she can get through this awful grief.
