This morning the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine held the 2020 Body Donation Memorial Service for people who donated their bodies for research at UC.

I watched the ceremony live online and saw my mother June’s picture pass by along with all the others whose bodies were cremated this year after their service to research was completed.

It’s been two years since my mother passed and her body was donated. I am so proud that she made this decision.

Please give some thought to what might be done with your own body or organs when it’s your turn to depart this world.

Thank you mom. For everything.
