DONOR FAMILY SERVICES

Writing to LifeShare Families
The LifeShare Transplant Donor Services of Oklahoma encourages written correspondence between recipients and donor families. Initially, all correspondence is completely anonymous and identities are kept confidential.



Book of Heirlooms
The Book of Heirlooms was created to honor the memory of the donor. Families worry that the person they loved will be forgotten by others and they are worried they might forget them. Heirlooms is a way to record not only what the loss of that person meant to their family, but is also an important place to record the essence of the person who died- what they were like and what they contributed to life. Future generations then have some way to understand and relate to persons who helped create their family and understand how they changed the world through donation. Contact Heirlooms at bereavement@lifeshareok.org
Patches of Love Donor Memory Quilt
The Patches of Love Donor Memory Quilt is comprised of individual quilt squares made by donor families in memory of their loved ones. Each patch is carefully made to honor loved ones who gave the Gift of Life. Each year, the quilt squares will be sewn together to make a beautiful wall hanging. In addition to honoring donors, this quilt displays the importance of organ,eye and tissue donation.

Family members can reserve the quilt to display at special family gatherings, as well as church and community events. Click a name below to view their Patch of the Donor Memory Quilt.
