Ben's Heart Introduction

[Nomad]

Ranger Ron, I'd like to include another note from Judy, that this Mother's Day will be particularly difficult for Jill. If anyone wishes to send greetings, her email is iambenkoppsmother@gmail.com.

If you're in contact with her, you should ask Mrs. Kopp to come register for an account here. She might find it quite comforting to be able to talk to other Ranger parents and might find herself able to say things out loud here that she feels she has to contain otherwise. We'd certainly be honored to have her here.

Sorry I am so slow here. I think they were both invited to join and I did set up an account for Judy. I certainly agree with you Nomad and I will again offer to give either or both of them whatever assistance I can to get them started. They are certainly both welcome here.

Wow!
Welcome My Lady and Ranger Kopp's ticker!

I got this update from the lady who has Ben's heart. Never forget Ranger Kopp.

The National Moment of Remembrance encourages all Americans to pause wherever they are at 3 p.m. local time on Memorial Day for a minute of silence to remember and honor those who have died in service to the nation. As Moment of Remembrance founder Carmella LaSpada states: “It’s a way we can all help put the memorial back in Memorial Day.”
In special honor of my heart donor, the brave Ben Kopp, I hope we can all remember to do this. FYI; Ben's mother, Jill, is in Washington DC for the long weekend. She was @ the Special Operation HQ in Ft. Bragg, NC last week as they honored Ben, his name is now engraved on a wall there for Operation Freedom.
Medically, I continue to do well and thank all of you for your continued support during these past 10 months. Happy Memorial Day, love, Judy
