Kerry was always doing for others, never thinking of herself. Stray dogs, cats, people - she loved and tried to save them all. This giving of herself was reflected in her wish to be an organ donor. We rest assured, knowing that her last wish has given someone eyesight and the most beautiful blue eyes that anyone could have wished for. Matthew 25:40.
