What the below entries are all about...
Me (jana) talking: This link, the excerpt below, and having it be a friend makes this a sober but powerfully inspirational series of posts. Since I go for ages now without posting, take your time getting thru them, but Really read them. Raf was a good friend of my sisters and her husband, and he was such a good man. I want his life and love to reach everyone I care about.below is from the home page of his site www.rafaelgaspar.com
Rafael was struck suddenly at age 30 by an APS (Hughes Syndrome) attack which led to multiple surgeries, eventual organ failure, a year-long listing at UCLA for intestinal/liver/pancreas transplant, and sadly, despite valiant medical efforts, his death during transplant surgery on 8/24/04. The hope that transplant provided his body and spirit afforded him one more precious year with us.
Drive for Raf honors his incredible life, filled with adventures that took him to the far corners of the world while touching the depths of our hearts and souls. This joyful event commemorates Rafael's unique wisdom, contagious smile, encouraging words, bold actions, courage facing adversity and intense love of life. Considering organ donation and support of it will be a lasting tribute to him.
Our heartfelt thanks to each of you.
Doris and Luis Gaspar and family
