You, in posting your pending and then actual loss, have helped more people than you know. God Bless you and yours, and may Q have sweet sailing.

So sorry for the loss of your dear grandson Quentin...I will keep you and Lila and family in my prayers.

If only I could send to you something that would help, if only any of us could say or do anything to help you right now.

Just know that we all understand and care.

You have.

Ed... What a heartbreaking story. My thoughts are with you, Quentin, and the rest of his family. There is some solace in knowing that he will live on for many years through the life he has given to others in need. He sounds like a wonderful young man.

There are no words to express my sorrow and sympathy. Anger set in when I thought about the pain of the family and all they will have to go through, I fell asleep crying. I woke this morning, still heavy sorry on my heart but I realized that even though our prayers for Quentin weren't answered the way we wished, even though the miracle we were praying for didn't occur, other miracles will begin to happen. Other families, mothers, fathers, brothers and sister have been praying for a miracle for their loved ones to be saved. Because of Quentin's families selflessness in letting Quentin be an organ donor, others who were lost will be saved. I will never forget Quentin.. he will live in our hearts and memories for all time.

Kindest Regards- Sandy Noll

This wonderful post is from the mother of one of Q's good friends. She brought banana bread to the hospital a couple days ago and has been very supportive. I hope to see her again soon to find out how she knew about TOTV or this thread, as she clearly signed up just to post this. I have PM'd her but no answer. I presume she has a relative or friend on the board.

Ed, so sorry for the loss of your grandson. Please know that your TOTV family is mourning with you. Keeping you and your family in our prayers.

Ed , no words can describe your loss... So sorry ...

Ed, I just saw the terrible news.

Our deepest sympathies to you and your family.

Wish there was something we could say to make it better.

Ed, I don't have the words to express how sorry I am for your family's loss.

My deepest sympathy,
Ed, to you and your family!!

ed, am so sorry to learn of your loss and the loss of all of your family. will continue to keep you all in our prayers and will ask that you find peace and comfort in the knowledge that quentin helped others to a better life.

I'm very sorry for your loss. It's terrible. We nearly lost our son twice during the summer of 2007...we aren't made to watch these things happen to our kids or grandkids. Be strong.

Ed, there are no words that I can offer that haven't already been made that could sufficiently help relief the pain you must be experiencing at this time. I do however offer you this poem in hopes that it provides a small flicker of light to the darkness of the moment.

DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE AND WEEP

http://www.christianforums.net/image...ine=1345655020

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints on the snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gental autumn rain
When you wake in the mornings hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there, I did not die

Ed, I'm so sorry. Sometimes life can seem so unfair. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
