Reflections from Donor Families

October 17, 1997 Margaret H. Cooper, Ph.D Associate Director of the Gift Body Program St. Louis University Medical School 1504 S. Grand St. Louis, MO 63104 Dear Dr. Cooper: On behalf of the family of xxxx, I want to thank you and all the students, faculty and staff of St. Louis University Medical School for the Memorial Service this past Wednesday. I was particularly moved, impressed and consoled by the student reflections. Mr.Chiu's comment that the donors have been buried in the students minds will always be remembered. My father was employed for many years at Pevely Dairy Company as a milk and ice cream driver. He parked his car on Hickory Street next to the garage on Grand Boulevard. Although I handled for him his donation of his body many years ago, it never occurred to me until Wednesday that he would come to complete his service on earth at St. Louis University Medical School only a few hundred yards away from the place where he started so many of his working days in support of his family. Thank you again for the Memorial Service and please commend all who participated for makkg it such a meaningful and special occasion for those in attendance. Yours very truly, xxxx
