Francine's Honor Walk
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 сер 2019
- One week after a devastating car crash, the family of 10-year-old Francine made the courageous decision to donate her organs. On Monday, August 12, Francine’s family and friends joined Valley Children’s doctors and staff in an Honor Walk, lining the halls to the operating room to honor an amazing little girl and her gift of life to six others.
UA-cam should have a love and respect button for such brave hearts.. saved so many lives!

I didn‘t know you could actually feel your heart being ripped out and shattered into pieces. I have difficulty just watching this. To the brave family and the indescribable angel francine, thank you for your infinite gift. This is bigger than humanity itself.
Amen hallelujah praise GOD keep doing for the LORD using your special gift amen hallelujah praise GOD
Seriously, holy cow. She's a superhero.

As a 2 time liver transplant recipient all I can say is that she is a hero and will never be forgotten.
There was an Honor Walk for my adult sister. The hardest part was watcing the surgery doors close on her. To give your little girl up like this is amazing. Bless you all. Your child is in Heaven but part of her is still living here.
❤
at just 10 years old her life was taken from this earth far too soon but she's a hero for gifting her own organs to others so they can live on...RIP Francine may you forever fly free and at peace...
It brings tears when you escort your kid patient to the OR, but seeing this angel giving new hope to 6 other kids really had me crying. That’s a brave and selfless family she has.
The way the mother kept touching her hands and rubbing them... Made me think of my daughter and how I would probably do the same thing knowing it might be the last time I touch her or feel her here on earth. I could not imagine that pain and anxiety of my child being taken away.
The worst feeling ever
@@nc-ox4kz for sure there would be no pain worse than that of loosing your child. I have had nightmares about like loosing my child or us drowning and me not able to save us just that sickening feeling is small compared to reality. I would probably be in a padded room rocking from going crazy. I'm not sure if I could be strong or be okay.

Such an amazing way to honor a child before passing. Must have been so difficult and painful to see your child go like this. Thanks for all who lined up in the corridor to pay respect. Rest well Francine. Hug the Lord for us.
I have honestly never cried this hard on a youtube video before… I couldn‘t help myself but let the tears run down my face… How unfair that such a young life had to end so tragically and soon, but how brave and honorable of the parents to donate her organs and save the lives of six children. May she rest in peace 🙏🏼❤️
Francine was an amazing girl. Me and her attended the same school and she was the bestest and most caring friend anyone could have ever had. I miss the memories we had made before this tragedy happened.
Very sorry for your loss.

When a person takes his/ her last breath on earth it is at that very moment that he/she has taken his/her First breath in heaven. It is then the individual has taken his/ her wings and is able to to fly free without worry... without pain and with all the abilities he/she was denied on earth. Fly high little one!!! You are free!!
yes you are right
Those words are so beautiful Deb ❤️❤️
Cooking with LuLu Ramos Thank you. I hope it brings someone comfort in knowing our souls never die. I feel whenever someone thinks of a loved one that has entered heaven it is at that very moment that they are with that individual. I am a pediatric hospice Nurse. ❤️

Its been 2 years since this little angel left and her gift is still living and giving among many she has helped her memory is still not forgotten! RIP and blessings to her family
So sad and at age 10. Her donation has changed the lives of others and she will live on because of that. My condolences go out to all the family and friends who treasured this little one.
Can't see a child died, there is so much of life to see. Oh god can't stop crying.

@@triciasainteterre2226 what
I can see in her eyes just how special she was. Her short time on Earth will surely leave a huge impact. God bless her family. I pray they find strength to get through this tremendous loss 🙏
From one dad to this Dad, I can't even begin to imagine. Nor would I want to. But she saved others lives and your (& your wife's) courage made that possible. It'll never make up for what you've lost, but she's still there. and she always will be. I'm an Agnostic on a good day, but I will pray for you and yours for solace and some kind of closure and healing. I'm so very sorry.
I don’t think I’ll handle being a nurse this is so heartbreaking
I think your experience will depend on where you decide to work. I'm sure working the ICU is a very different experience than working a lower risk floor.
Casey Ammon I work at Neuro ICU 👐🏼
I tried the medical years ago, but cried and became sick to my stomach. I take my hat off to all medical providers..
Andrea Cadena I’m a nurse and I promise you if your calling is to be a nurse that’s what you should do!
I’ve been privileged to care for many people from all walks of life at a long term and rehabilitation center. I took care of a 102 year old woman, and held her family’s hand when she passed away.
I’ve taken care of people who have had strokes or joint replacements and am proud to say many people returned home!
Just decide what you want to specialize in!
Same,
My family has recently went through this same decision with 11 month old child. God bless us all. 😢
Stay strong...
Thank you for making the decision to help others live amidst your own tragedy
Thomas Helms, I'm so so sorry for your families loss. I know your beautiful baby is in the Fathers loving arms in Heaven and is happy, smiling, laughing and in perfect peace. Thank you for sharing even through you and your families pain. May God lift you all up, continue to carry you, especially on your dark days and give you all the strength to soldier on another day and know those 11 months of life were NEVER in vain, but has brought, hope, love and joy to many others lives.
Now that's one VERY VERY SPECIAL 11 month old to be proud off!
Blessings & One Love, Karen xx
Sorry for your loss, no family should have been trough this ☹️
@@tracyjohnson5023 yes
I remember my best friends honor walk. Standing there holding her Hands saying goodbye. Her last words was "lets go and make some kids happy" and Last year I got a text from a now 13 year old girl telling me how much she wanted to thank her, for making her life possible.
She went to my elementary school and i remember during morning break she and some of her other friends would hang out with me whenever I was alone.
She was one of the nicest girls I have ever met❤
Those that received her greatest gift may or may not know her name, but they will ALWAYS know the gift she gave. May her family and those that she loves find peace and comfort. Fly high Angel.
As a parent I could not imagine the pain they are in . I don’t want too! My condolences for your great loss. Something no parent should have to do. I thank you for your strength to bless others with a chance at life. Prayers for your family!!!
Hello dear how's the weather condition over there?
What happen to her why is she so painful did she pass away that's so sad I'm sorry for your loss and Francine you know everyone loves you because you are a amazing sister for your family and still know that we love you when ever we are not beside you we still love you and support you and my favorite color is blue and I just wana be just like you like a chef that my dream when I was a kid and a baby sorry for your loss we love you francine

She was in a car crash. Gone way too soon. This lovely angel saved others as an organ donor. Which I am.
Hi
How are you doing prettiest queen?
Francine - thank you, thank you for the lives you have saved! You are a true hero. Many blessings and prayers to your family. May God grant them peace.
God bless her and her family she truly is a hero I truly don't know what else to say God bless her and her family and all those Hospital staff they're all heroes too
As a nurse there is no greater honor than to be present when someone passes into the next life. Bless you sweet child.
🤨
Tammy- May I ask what does the experience feel like to be present at that moment ?
LC MARK honestly i don’t know how to explain the feeling of being in the room when somebody passes away it’s a feeling you can’t pin point it’s heartbreaking but almost a relief at times if people were suffering
… so you enjoy watching little kids pass away?
@@lucastea9533 ffs ...... 🙄
This is heartbreaking, rest in heaven Francine 🙏🏼😢
may ur soul rest in peace
when i become a famous rockstar i will donate money to cancer kids so there parents can pay for there treatments 😭😭
Francine lives on in the lives she saved. She and her family are heroic to choose to help others in the midst of personal devastation.
While her tiny body was walked through these halls, past those who honored her, I know her soul was bathed in light. Yet still... I'm sobbing.
I thought I was going to SPLIT IN TWO!!! GOD BLESS THIS FAMILY. Thank you to all of those who stood to honor this beautiful child, and Rest In Peace sweet girl.
I love how the staff honors the body here. I used to volunteer at Hospice and each time we'd lose a patient it was much the same. Volunteers and staff silently lined the halls as the body was carried out to the waiting hearse. It was quite a moving experience: man's humanity to man at its very finest. May God grant that we be our finest to each other while we're still here. 💕
Organ donation levels remain shockingly low. So when parents like Francine’s donate their child’s organs despite experiencing the greatest pain you any ever know… well, I say I’m in awe of your selflessness & bow to you for the incredible sacrifice you’ve made. You will see Francine again & you’ve done her amazing life proud! 💕
I am just now seeing this beautiful tribute to Francine, 11 months after it was first posted. Valley Children's hospital is where I have spent many days with my own children and even now for follow up. I will remember Francine everytime I go there from here on and I will say a prayer that God allow Francine to show her Mama, Papa, siblings and family a little sign that makes them smile and think of her and feel peace in their soul and know that she is with God but always near you too. From one central valley mom, I thank you for your courage to save the lives of other complete strangers so that they don't have to know the heartache that you feel. I too know this heartache as I have lost my baby son (but he was too sick to donate.) My daughter, who is now 30 is still with us because of a family like yours and a child like Francine. My daughter was but 5 months old when she received her liver transplant. Francine and family, you are true heroes! God bless you.
Did he or she die
@@chrisnixon5055
wtf?!?
God bless this family for making such an heartbreaking decision but saved the lives of others. Xx
But I have a question?
Was she sick or anything or jus g normal?
@@draganaobradovic3520 Families dont just decide to donate their loved one's organs if they are perfectly healthy. She had been in a car crash.
@Dragana. She died in a car crash and was pronounced brain dead so her family decided to donate her organs
I always believed its so unfair for children to die so young without having a chance to live life to it's fullest. However the thought that her organs were donated to another child in need really brings comfort that she will live on in them. Sending love and comfort to that family as well as Francine. May you rest in peace Sweet Angel
She never sinned. She's basking in God's infinite beautiful presence in the highest plane of heaven.

The little doll.. oh what a beautiful angel.
The fear of having children and then losing them is something I can't go through.RIP
There is always that chance, but hope your fear won't stop you from having a child one day. Life has it's ups and downs, but it will be worth it for all the good things that come with having them.
My mother said that losing a child before she goes was her greatest fear. It happened though, and my sister's Honor Walk was held two months ago.
Hardest ones of these are when it's the children who are passing on. So much of life was still ahead. :(
My God, I am so sorry for your loss. There are no words for this loss. I'm sending you love and prayers...
You use God's name in vain and then you say your sending prayers??? Terrible lady! Repent and turn to Jesus

I'm from the same city as this little angel and I have a deep connection to valley children's through my son so this hits very close to home and heaven is Even brighter thanks to that little angel smile.
Far away from America, across the seas, I feel the grief of this family at the loss of this wonderful young lady....my heart breaks for this young angel who is now in heaven
I couldn’t ever imagine having to make that kind of a decision. Such a beautiful little girl gone to soon. God bless her parents an family
It breaks heart to see our children dying in front of our eyes..rest in peace baby..god bless you ..
It is April 2023, and I am watching your lovely, sweet daughter's Honor Walk. My children are young adults and I do not personally know the anguish of losing one of your children, but oh how it must devastatingly ache. I'm so very proud of your family for your selflessness. I had tears the moment the video began. Francine left a legacy that's as golden as your family's hearts❣
I was a nurse for many years and have been retired quite a while. We never did an honor walk. Saw my first one the other day online. I broke down in tears. What a wonderful tribute to the patients and families who make these gifts. God Bless all the families
Every time I see one of these on UA-cam I start to cry! God bless you Francine! May you rest in peace in God’s loving arms.
I have no words, such a beautiful way to honour this amazing young girl, bless the family and all the wonderful people who lined the corridor. This beautiful young girl will live on
Bless you sweetheart your gift to those in need is absolutely amazing. The gift of an organ is one of the ultimate forms of kindness and bless you to your family for donating those life saving little gifts. ❤️ God bless.
It is always so sad when a child passes, but by donating the child's organs they can continue on in another body and save someone's life. Thank you Francine and family.
This girl was an angel. Thankyou for giving your life to others 😇
This is a BOSS MOVE!! God does not make mistakes!! This beautiful young girl is a gift....a gift to those who know and love her....and a gift to those she will continue to live on through. ❤️
Amazing how people make that final decision to donate a child, brother, sister, daughter, son, mother, father, aunt, uncle, & loved ones to save others. That’s the best of the best of the human race. Thanks to all who’s final act, saved others.... ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This deserves true honor !! Thanks to the family of Francine...you helped so many. Hope you are doing well in these days. Best wishes from Germany.
She deserves such a mark of respect. May she rest well.
This is so hard. You rejoice for those that are going receive life changing gifts, but your heart breaks for the family of those who unselfishly give to save so many lives. So beautiful, yet so very sad. God bless this family and those that will have a better quality of life because of this beautiful little angel.❤
What kind of person would "thumbs down" this video? This beautiful young lady is giving the gift of life! God bless her and her family!
They need to do this at every hospital my father in law donated his organs and we got a "you done a good thing." Before walking out letting our family just sob alone in a cold and empty room. This helps the family in so many ways.
Unfortunately that’s just not at all logical or possible.
@@stevesharpe9847 nothings impossible.
With covid I imagine that isn't so popular or reccomended these days. But it would be nice

Such a beautiful girl. I lost it when I saw that little charm bracelet. I don't know how the family got through this. My heart breaks for them. Rest easy, angel. You did well.
Oh wow..Absolutely broke me to pieces watching this beautiful angel & parents & friends say goodbye in a perfect way..Thank you & to the parents "I'm sooo sorry for your loss & hope one day you heal & thank you for giving life to somebody else whilst in despair of losing your own baby"😢😢 RIP Angel
What a beautiful girl!! Oh sweet child....dancing with the angels now! God hold you until your family sees you again. Thanks to you and your family you will live on giving others the opportunity to dance, sing, get married, live on...... God Bless YOU!!!
An angel has gathered her wings and is ready to fly. RIP Francine!!!! I'll NEVER forget you!! Please soar like an eagle!! I wish kids should never go through this. “She wanted to be a chef” that was a good sentence by her nurses. If she was a chef she would work at Kroger as a pastry chef or a restaurant as the cook. Francine, God is waiting for you. Go get em tiger!!! ✝️❤️🩹🕊️
Let her fly high up above the sky may god bless her little soul.
Amen, May GOD Bless little France comfort and lead her Family to Heaven, also.
This girl is a fighter, a hero. She saved other lives while hers ends.rest in peace little hero.
Very sad but much love and respect for Francine and her family for giving others the gift of life at such a heartbreaking time. 💔 R.I.P. 🙏
My 11 month old son passed away November 30th 2021 and this honor walk feeling is the most hurtful thing I've ever felt. You get to the end of that hallway and they shut those doors and that's it . The last time you ever see your child . If the walk could've been longer. I'm Soo sorry sweetie
@ninalynam1808 he was only 11 months old, why cant you just respect that decision, organ donors are an absolute true gift, which is why I hope to be one as well and hope you reconsider what u just said which is completely unnecessary. Its was her decision, and I think u should just respect it .
May her Rest In Peace, she is in a better place now. With golden gates, and a better home. Bless her little heart may her family be well, and may Francine live in peace in the heavens.
The moment when you can no longer continue to watch the video because you can’t help yourself from crying.
Oh my god, this must be the greatest pain a person can endure , losing a child, God bless you Francine .
Thank you Francine for your gift to others so they may live . They carry a piece of you everyday and will achieve goals and milestone you couldn't finish . To her brave parents thank you for giving life to others on her behalf I cannot even begin to imagine your pain but I hope you have comfort in knowing she is still here on earth in different bodies .
Thank you for making such a selfless act, on the most horrific time in your life!! God bless you and your family!!
o wow I just saw the honor walk like this, my heart broke . What a tough & brave family. God Bless.
RIP sweetheart. A beautiful young Angel watching over us. My heart aches for your loss. Your courage is inspirational. Your beautiful Angel lives on. God bless you and your family.
This is the bravest and most selfless act of generosity. Blessings to the family.
And this is why I’m a donor, to help someone that needs a hand .... or kidney ....

Thank you for the Gift Of Life and Giving Hope To Someone Who Will Always Be Grateful!
I'm laying here in bed, my 6 year old grandson asleep in between my wife and I. His little hand on my arm and I'm trying not to sob while watching this mother hold her childs hands for the last time. With my own children I've always said time is cruel and it went too fast. Watching this i realize time is a gift and blessing. Something taken from this mother and child. Only now in my older years do I understand enjoying every day. Stop anticipating and waiting for some ideal future. Enjoy now immensely.
So incredibly heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time. My prayers to the family.
Rest in peace sweet heart. Your now a beautiful angel watching us love from Canada
Hello Andrea
I'm so sorry for your loss. Bless you for your courage in allowing others to be blessed even as you grieve
What a hero. She lives on. Blessings to her family and friends. I hope that each day gets easier to smile and live.
I am a nursing student and this breaks my heart. My this little angel rest in peace ❤️🙏🏽

8s she sick or normal
I can’t remember the last time I bawled as hard as I am right now. Bless her beautiful innocent heart, as well as her beautiful generous family for giving others the gift of life. Through the recipients, their precious daughter will live on.
As a pediatric ICU nurse I had the privelege of accompanying a child to the OR for procurement of their organs following their brain death & the parent's decision to donate their organs. In 30+ yrs of nursing, it has been, bar none, the most impactful moment of my nursing career. Procuring & packaging of 6 organs in an opportunity to improve & extend the life of 6 individuals. The entire process is so well choreographed from the timing if each surgical crew being present (heart team, lung team, abdomen team), ambulances at the ready transporting each team from the airport to the hospital & remaining at the hospital to return each team with their specific organ back to the airport & their awaiting private plane, to the intra-operative team being ready & prepared for the moment of "no turning back" called cross-clamp. Everything one hears on stories or what-not that the heart is an awesome site, I 10000% DISagree. The LUNGS were the most beautiful awesome site I have EVER seen. The patient's story in itself changed me as a parent due to the events surrounding the death & for THAT alone I understand why our paths intersected. ❤
Bless you for serving these little ones and their families.
Just beautiful. A fitting tribute for the donor(s) of this most precious gift of all.
Ur a angel baby u gave life to others God bless u
So brave to think of others while your own heart breaks. God bless you.
How true. They must have huge, very loving hearts to be able to do this. Bless them.
This is so sad bc just imagine how many things this kid could do. Its heartbreaking.
This is just heartbreaking to lose a child is very hard the hardest thing anyone could go through, but her brave mother was not selfish in her grief and thought of all the ppl she could help, knowing that is probably what her daughter would have wanted, i love the way the staff honoured her, God bless her mother and family and I know this is not the same as having ur daughter but she is still here on earth with everyone she helped, and her soul will be ur Angel till you meet again, RIP little one ❤️
This is such a moving video, she and her family have so much strength. Rest easy♥️
It made me cry 😭and thank you for the little life to others💯
When I saw that it was a child, I broke down in tears.. such a selfless act that these families do to help others that are in need of new organs...
Surgeons, nurses etc... are among the best people our world has to offer. Some of them genius's, some filled with compassion beyond compare.
But the real heroes ARE the family's. Especially if it's your child. Such heartache. But SUCH courage
