April and I were featured on CBS 11 TV on February 9, 2010 as we prepared for the transplant. The station promised to keep viewers updated on our story, and tonight they aired another story about us - one with a much more tragic ending than anyone could have imagined. But CBS 11 News kept a positive tone and told about the April Elizabeth Gillespie Memorial Scholarship Fund I am establishing in her memory [click for more information].
Many, many thanks to Carol Cavazos and CBS11 News for their interest and kindness. I hope it will increase awareness and interest in organ donation, and help raise funds for the scholarship to promote the work April held so dear, to help the children she loved so much. This story will remain forever unfinished.

I watched the CBS 11 story about the scholarship fund in April's memory. What a beautiful and very fitting tribute to April's life and her contributions to the field of nursing. Thank you for continuing to keep us all updated, Rob. I get teary eyed every time I visit this blog site. The photos, thoughts, and memories you've posted here are a very touching and beautiful tribute to April and the love you shared.
