"Bill, you left us too soon. We miss you and know you are finally at peace. Growing up the only boy in a house with four sisters was always interesting. And yes, we picked on you and never let you forget how spoiled you were, but if we could have changed this outcome right now, we all would have done it. You will never be forgotten. And the priceless gift of being a donor will help others in need. So rest, be at peace and know all of your family loves you."

Every cheer starts with one voice. Colts cheerleader Diva uses her voice to raise awareness of the need for lifesaving organ transplants. Diva's beloved grandmother was a kidney recipient.

Eight-year-old Alaina Ritter died suddenly on May 9, 2023. Her mother, Nicole, made a powerful decision to say "yes" to organ donation so that Alaina could continue helping others.

“She was always a beautiful little sunshine. She was my rainbow baby. And she was all over the place,” Nicole said. “And knowing she is all over the place and helping people like she wants to is a big deal.”

"Today, we pause to remember a man who didn’t just live life, he charged through it at full speed, boots on the blacktop, a cold Murf Lite in hand and laughter rolling from his chest like thunder.

Leroy J. Murphy Jr., or Murf as most of us knew him, wasn’t one to tiptoe through life quietly — he made an entrance, and he always left a lasting impression.

He worked hard, he loved hard and he lived by his own rules. If you were lucky enough to know him, you knew exactly where you stood, and chances are, you stood beside him at a job site, a bar stool, or around the barn, laughing at one of his stories, probably a little too loud… just how he liked it.

He didn’t believe in shortcuts — in life, in work or in love. He showed up, stood his ground, gave the shirt off his back and made sure his presence was felt.

So now, in honor of a man who paved his own roads, let us take a moment of silence to honor his life.

Let this quiet be our way of feeling him in the stillness, of hearing that laugh echo in our mind, and of thanking him for loving us fiercely, loudly and all the way through.

Let us bow our heads now: not to say goodbye, but to honor the legacy of grit, loyalty, and heart he leaves behind."

"Michael had a smile that would light up a room, the best sense of humor, and a deep love and loyalty for his wife, family and his many friends. His laugh was infectious and one-of-a-kind. He enjoyed fishing, working on his car, tattoos and listening to music. He had a cat, Mia Jade, that he loved dearly. But what he enjoyed the most was just spending all the time he could with his loved ones. He was a devoted husband, son, brother and uncle. Family meant everything to him. He had a huge heart for others."
