“Stephen was love unleashed,” says Marie. “He was an amazing human being with immense love for humanity, nature and animals.”
When Stephen passed in 2020, Marie knew he had the opportunity to make that impact he always wanted on the world. Through organ donation, Stephen gave the gift of time to three people, and helped improve the lives of many through research donation.
“As a human being, one of the greatest gifts you can give to someone is life,” says Marie.
