Support Joe Laird's Final Farewell

Donation protected

Hi, this is Joe Laird's Mom, Mary. Our Son, Joe was 46 years old. I am asking for donations for Joe's cremation, etc. Joe lived his life on his terms. He loved everybody and everything. His best friend was his companion and therapy dog, Geo Cache. Joe was Type 1 diabetic at 14. About 5 years ago, Joe started Dialysis 3 days per week. He was a smoker. He fell during a diabetic siezure and broke his leg. He was wheelchair bound. He had 3 heart attacks, 7-8 stents in his heart, 2 heart ballooning, broken ribs on both sides from 2 separate falls. Not to mention a cracked hip and collar bone. I took him to Wound Care for a bed sore that he received in August, from a nursing home. We almost had it healed. I changed his wrap daily. He had neuropathy in both feet . He was to be an organ donor but passed before the organs could be harvested. They called Joe a Hero. I get Joe's ashes today and this is going to be difficult. This is all just starting to hit us all. Remember the fun times you had with my baby boy. He Loved you all. Thank you for being here for us. Mary
