This past week our family had the opportunity to meet our Donor family. It was a wonderful experience for all of us and one that will remain close to our hearts for a very long time. Their names are Sandy and Jerry Clutter from the Pittsburgh area. They have a wonderful family and we also got to meet a daughter that came with them, her name is Shannon and her her little boy named Hunter. We had a fun time with them. We missed not getting to meet another daughter that was home expecting a new baby any time now. Her name is Hope.
We exchanged gifts and learned more about my donor ..Jerryd. He was a remarkable young man and you can feel the love his family had for him. Enclosed are a few of the pictures taken while there at Intermountain Donor Services.
I think most of us would agree that it was a very nice meeting and we all came away feeling gratitude in our hearts for such a precious gift. It comes at the 81/2 mark of the Transplant and KSL will be doing a special piece about it July 23rd. So for those that would like to see it go to KSL.com and you should be able to bring it up either that day or the next day. It was suppose to air on the 23rd probably in the evening so it may not be available until the 24th on the computer.
This first meeting marks the beginning of a very good relationship we now have with a very special family. We hope and pray that our meeting will add additional comfort for Sandy and Jerry and their family. What a great thing it was to meet them.

Wow! What a remarkable opportunity and the beginning of such a special relationship! So thankful for their family!
That is so great that you got to meet the family. What a blessing! I bet they felt so good to meet the recipient and his family. You all are awesome.
Gratitude overflows for the Clutter family from anyone that has the opportunity to know Michael. May they find comfort from He who created us all.
