In reply to the discussion: My son passed [View all]AZ8theist
(6,555 posts)205. My sympathies as well. ON THE PLUS SIDE..
Your selfless donation to the Barrow Institute in Phoenix is a wonderful way to commemorate your son. They are amazing people doing amazing work. If your son can help in any way towards advancing research, I applaud you for doing this.
I had brain surgery at Barrow in 2014 and the treatment, the people, the care and compassion was incredible. I, fortunately, was cured of my condition. Unfortunately, your son was unable to recover. Please be assured, however, that your incredible donation will advance the science and hopefully reduce another families distress in a time of need.
You are a saint for doing what you did. Again, my sincerest sympathies for your loss.
