Kevin Riley. #14. Never came out of coma and died about 2 yrs later. About 20 yrs old and he and Stacey had their 1st baby on the way. He was the last man left in St. Catherines Hospital when I was released May 30 1982. I would wheel down to his room and hold his hand and tell him every thing I knew of what happened to us and that we were still alive and that we would make it. I left 8 surgeries after April 15 and short 1leg and also mending broken bones in clavicle, scapula, and hip. Kevin fought 2 years in a coma and eventually moved to a light that beckoned him for 2 years. God graced me just a few years ago in running into Stacey at a radiation center where she was support comfort for a friend who was undergoing radiation and most recently a few weeks ago I met a nurse who was involved with Kevin's care after he left St. Catherine. Meet people. Touch lives. Pretty sure that is what we are supposed to do on this side.

I agree. Thank you so much for sharing that.
Do you remember my dad?
