IT was 21 years after their handsome son's tragic death in a car crash that Judy and Ian Baty received the news they had always longed for. On a day like any other, the couple were in the kitchen doing household chores when the phone rang.

Thank you Chrissy, This story really touched my heart. After reading it at the bottom of the article there is a link to "Planting a Tree in Memory". I thought that was wonderful. I have planted 3 trees in my yard for my brother and both my parents. here is the link..http://www.treegivers.com/index-m.html?AID=878705&PID=1672832

Well it took him long enough:) I'm just kidding I have no idea if they know right off who donates or how that works.

Over hear, there is not allowed to be any communication between donor families and recipients that give any idea as to identity. I have heard of a few that have sent cryptic messages and got away with it, but most get stopped! of course, not the case when it's a life donor ... which has to be a relative or friend.
