avoncallingu... Sorry to hear of your loss. So amazing that she donated her eyes. This is such a wonderful and generous gift that she gave someone.

If anyone is interested in being a donor the government has a great new website (you may have seen the commercial on tv lately)... www.beadonor.ca

It was wonderful that your Mom was this way ( generous) all her life, even more incredible for her to give a gift after passing. The best part is, like you said living that example to her kids, grandkids, etc Again, my sympathies on your deep loss, but thank you for sharing that with all of us.

My mother was a very giving person. I've seen her clear out her own cupboards and leave herself nothing in order to help people who "needed it more than her."

Unfortunately the world lost a gem when she passed away July 23.

But she was able to donate her eyes to the Eye Bank who were thrilled to receive them.

And also, all the left over food from her funeral - cookies, veggies, fruit - we were able to take to our local Women's Shelter.
It was her 10 year old grandson who heard us talking about the extra food and very matter-of-factly said, "You should take that to the food bank, Auntie." (He and his dad volunteer at their local soup kitchen every other Monday.)

So, I guess, with children and grandchildren who have learned to "give back to the community," she has left a much more enduring donation to our world.

We'll all miss you mum!

How absolutely wonderful!
