In Memoriam

Almost a year ago, I urged people to sign up as organ donors. That was the day my friend Stephanie was given new life.

Now many of us are mourning the death of poet and author Mike Ford, who got almost six extra years of life from his kidney transplant. His partner Elise has suggested something to do in memory of Mike (John M. Ford): sign your organ donor card!

I can't improve on what she's said. Not with these tears in my eyes.
