something i have never heard of or seen.....relative of my wife age 46 died suddenly of a brain bleed ?? was in St Francis at wichita...declared dead and maintained for about a month till all the compatible donors were lined up and ready..he was in the rolling bead covered by a quilt his wife had made and family walked along , one kid about 10 with his hand on the quilt all the way as they wound thru the big hospital with staff, patients that could, and visitors lining the halls in respect all the way around to the operating room...one of the staff led while filming the whole journey and one of family did also from behind....very large number of people lining both sides of the halls.....what a great thing to do for the family and film to remember RIP

    I had a 45-year old cousin to pass recently. He was a donor. The honor walk was very emotional- a somber moment. I was amazed at the number people/employees lining the hallways....

    The younger folks really should consider the organ donor program.
    I can't believe they misspelled "Pork and Beans!"
