Outdoors related because Eli loved the outdoors, tractors, & trains. He aspired to move to Montana & work on the big trucks there. Eli is my cousin's 18 year old son who suffered a fatal brain aneurysm Friday night. Tomorrow, his organs will be harvested & he will save numerous lives. Tomorrow is also his dads birthday, his dad who has been a state park ranger for the state of Pennsylvania for a number of years.

Prayers going up. Will also add your family to our Bible study prayer list.
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God."
2 Corinthians 1:3-4
In JESUS' Name, Amen.

Thoughts and prayers for the family .
Tonight, my cousin & her husband endured a 5 hour visitation. I got there at 6:00 after flying from Dallas to Baltimore & the line to the casket was always 10+ deep until about 8:00. The funeral home director told my other cousin they have never had a visitation this size & it just proves to the kind of kid Eli was. Floral arrangements in tractor vases were all over, along with cowboy hats & boots. How my cousin did this for 5 hours (not accounting for the one hour family viewing prior), I have no idea. When the line did go down, I finally went up & she couldn't look me in the eye, she's a strong one. But we embraced, cried, I told her that I loved her & she said she knew he was gone when they found him but she needed to have hope. She also said just needed to get this visitation done with & I can't even start to think how physically & emotionally draining this day was for them. I told her how amazing it is that she & Jim decided to save so many lives, one that we know was a baby who was going to receive part of his liver.
Tomorrow, he will be laid to rest. Her nightmare, is another mother's answered prayer.
Thank you for the prayers.

My heartfelt prayers to you and your family.
Brain aneurysms are a silent killer, you typically never know you have one until it is too late.
Not to hijack this thread but I have some very close experience with this. My now 33 year old middle child had a ruptured brain aneurysm at 14, in November of her freshman year of HS. An amazing pediatric neurosurgeon, Dr. Timothy George (RIP) saved my daughter. They did a craniotomy and clipped the rupture. She had two other smaller annies on the left side of her head and they were fixed over the next two years by an interventional neuroradiologist via a coiling procedure.
She graduated from A&M, married, has been very successful and has two kids.
She is the exception, not the norm and I thank God everyday that she is here with us.
Once again, I feel sick for these parents, his family and I am happy that his organs will live on helping others.
