Riverside County Regional Medical Center Honors Organ Donor, Riverside, California
RCRMC Honors Organ Donor with Memorial Portrait to Be Placed on Donate Life Float 2011 Rose Parade
Seraphin gave the gift of life and saved four lives. Her mother and large extended family will be on site to decorate a “floragraph” or memorial portrait, which will be placed on the 2011 Donate Life Rose Parade float, Seize the Day!
Last week, Amanda’s mother and uncle met two of her organ recipients; both will be present with their families to help decorate her floragraph.
Amanda’s mother, Liz Seraphin, is so grateful that RCRMC will host this event.
She said, “Amanda will never have a wedding or another birthday celebration, so this is her celebration.” Who: Among those attendance will be
- Liz Seraphin, (West Los Angeles), mother of 25-year old organ donor, Amanda Katherine Seraphin.
- Jim Barnett, (Lancaster), Amanda’s kidney and pancreas recipient. Since his transplant, he has become a grandfather to six grandkids.
- Arturo Nunez, (Corona), Amanda’s liver recipient. His family had been told to organize his funeral three days before his transplant. He will come with this wife and five adult children.
