IN LOVING MEMORY OF OUR FRIENDS WHO HAVE GONE BEFORE US

 

Cheryl Gere

After Transplant ---->

Cherly was transplanted with a single lung on May 25, 2010. Although her recovery was going well, she was taken from us very suddenly on the afternoon of Aug. 20, 2010.

Marshall Stark

“Marshall D. Stark had his lung transplant on January 14th, 2008 after a long ordeal with IPF. Unfortunately, the new lung was rejected by Marshall’s body. He passed away on January 22nd, 2010. He was a fighter. He will be missed by many. The family would like to thank and give appreciation to all the medical personnel for all they did during Marshall’s treatment.”

Our thoughts and pictures of Eddy

The lung transplant community as well as the community at large has suffered a great loss with his passing. Eddy has been a great advocate for patients through his work as a volunteer at UWMC, his involvement with Transplant House and with the IPF foundation. Those who had the great fortune of knowing him, know too that he was tireless in his efforts to make the transplant process easier for everyone.
