In honour of those who gave the gift of Life

This artwork was created to signify the bond
between donors and their recipients
and as a thank you to donors and their families.

A garden after rain brings forth new flowers
and nourishes many forms of life.

The forget-me-not flower –
a symbol no donor will ever be forgotten.

The butterfly – a symbol of new life

Words taken from testimonials from donor
families and recipients.
