Quilt 13

Quilt 13: Jenna Lindsten

Mom, Melea Cline, treasures all the memories, strength, and courage to live every day to its fullest that Jenna, her daughter, showed her.

Jenna was outgoing in everything she did from dance team, cheerleading, homecoming queen, weight lifting and receiving her master’s degree in social work. Jenna was on the job when a trucker ran a red light while texting on Valentine’s Day. She joins her brother, G.T., in heaven (due to an auto accident 10 years prior). Mom moves on by sharing Jenna’s pictures and stories of her life to the man, Jesse, who received both of her lungs. He was on his way home to tell his family and dog goodbye when he received the phone call of a donor. Jesse praises Jenna every day for giving him life with his family, church choir and walking five miles a day again.

Mom hopes to meet the boy who received Jenna’s heart someday to share her life also.

Quilt 13: Logan Dean

Logan was a typical 8-year-old boy, full of energy and spunk. He suffered from severe asthma off and on. In March 2018, the unimaginable happened. He had a severe asthma attack and spent five days on life support. When they mentioned the subject of organ donation, I lost it. They knew my sweet boy was gone. After many tears, screams, and pain, we thought about what he would want. We knew he would want to help as many people as he could. Logan was selfless and charitable in life and after. He’s forever our little hero.
