Gina's son Casey has died

Gina, from my Cardiomyopathy group wrote to say the her son, Casey died. He'd been diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy in August 2008, and died last week. He was too weak to be given a heart transplant, evidentally.

Concurrently, last week at the reiki support group, one volunteer shared that her "young" patient had died. She was very angry because he'd been on the heart transplant list and didn't get a heart. The volunteer argued that it didn't seem to be any trouble for the coach in NC to get a heart immediately, but she argued that her patient was black ... and was that the reason he didn't get one???

It is very helpful to be a part of such a group as "Cardiomyopathy". I am so much the lurker, but will now participate more.
