    I did a little homework and reading up on the recipient of Connor's heart. This young lady is inspiring and for some reason I felt like sending her an email to share this thread. I wasn't expecting a response but one came. We exchanged a few emails and it sort of gave me personally some closure.

    I sent my wife the article (she had also met Connor several times /he had been to our home) and some other site links/pictures of her family and she said it was beautiful to have something good like this happen. She also said something about cutting up some strong onions...

    I was hoping/glad someone reached out to her to humanize Connor.

    I’ve had the little funeral card from that in the Tundra ever since, see it every time I look up to flip down my visor. Miss that kid.

    What's sad and frustrating is that the accident looked survivable had he been wearing a seatbelt. Its a good reminder for me when I catch myself not putting mine on. I'm very thankful this young lady was able to live because of him though.

    Oh wow. Amazing to hear and I’m sure he would be happy to know this. Hard to believe it’s been over four years since this happened.

    That is awesome that you got a response and that you got to tell her about Connor. I wish I had been on here when he was around but hadn't got my Tundra yet. Glad this resonated with his friends here. He lives on in her..
