One of Holly's friends had something bad happen...
 

Holly's early childhood best friend Adam (you may remember him from a post a few years ago sitting with Holly at a heart transplant reunion)passed away this past Wednesday. He was in his freshman year in college in San Fransisco https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

He was born a week before Holly and was transplanted a week after Holly. They were pretty much inseperable as young kids...as they had to go to clinic 3 times a week during the early years after transplantation.

If you are religious, please pray for Adam and his family(and even for Holly...as this has hit her (and Lynn and I) pretty hard).

The funeral is going to be sometime after Christmas.

Please allow me to share a few photos with you.

Adam's first birthday party (Adam was at Holly's first birthday party...and is mentioned in the article I posted a while back)

Another birthday...I'd guess 3 years old?

Bruce, very sorry to hear about Adam. Sounds like he was close to your family and a big part of Holly's support network...absolutely devastating

Heartfelt prayers sent. Make sure Holly knows that she has a national community of friends and supporters here on this website.

Post or PM me their address...I would like to make a donation https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

When times are hard you turn to your friends and family. It's nice to know you thought of us. Sad news at any point in our lives, but especially so at this time of year.

We'll be praying for Adam, his family and the Blythes as well.

All of you will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Very sorry to hear that news - you are all in our prayers.

Very sad to hear of this Bruce. You had spoke of Adam many times and he sounded like not only a great kid but also someone very special to Holly. I cannot imagine how hard this has not only hurt her but scared her in more ways then one. Our prayers go out to not only Adam's family but also to your family and especially Holly. Please let her know we are all there for her.

Is there any way you could give us a way to contact Adam's family through the mail. I think it would be nice for them to know how much Adam and Holly have impacted many peoples lives over the years and let them know the the sYc family is there for them especially over the Holidays. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif
