Tracie was a young woman with two babies at home when she donated a kidney to her brother Bob, my husband in 1995. Bob was only in his 40's, and was waiting for a kidney (his second) for well over a year when Tracie gave the gift of life. This was before laparoscopic surgery was used for the donor, so she endured a lot of pain and a long healing process. I will never forget what she did, and she did it with courage and grace. She is beautiful and healthy today, and I feel like a lot of angels will always look after her.
