MOMENT OF SILENCE: We ask you to join us for a moment of silence in honor and recognition of Zoey for her lifesaving gift of organ donation. The magnitude of this decision, to save those most in need, is to be honored and admired. In this moment, we regard Zoey with respect and dignity above all else. ________________________________________________________________________________________

"The first time I met my little monster, she called me her daddy. It was the happiest day when Zoey slipped and called Kristin "mom" every day after.

Her beautiful soul loved every living creature so deeply. Her artistic abilities were amazing and she cooked a mean omelet for the whole family on the weekends.

I will forever love you and I am so thankful I got to be your daddy."

-Tribute submitted by Zoey's family.

RECIPIENT FEATURE: Meet Faith, an Indiana Donor Network advocate, cornea recipient and living donor from Indianapolis. Here is her story:

"I was 32 when I received my cornea, and I was 42 when I donated my kidney.

I noticed my vision was worsening and knew I had to take action to save it. My children were young, and I needed to be able to care for my family. I had to be 100% for them and myself.

After my cornea transplant, I was so grateful that I knew I wanted to pay it forward. Eleven years later, in 2009, I gave my cousin’s husband, Steve, the gift of life."

Say "yes." Save lives.
