Joe's New Kidney

This is the Eves family.

Holli (the Mama in the picture) is my all time favorite and best

St. George friend. In high school we were co-members of the

geek council. We wore matching pocket protectors and everything! Durring softball

season we were also co-bench warmers.

My freshman year at the University of Utah Holli called to tell me that

her and the guy she had been dating, Joe were getting hitched.

I was skeptical that any guy would be good enough for the co-president

of the geek council. But upon the first three seconds of meeting him she

had my approval. My approval meant nothing lots to Holli

so she decided to go for it. Their first baby Aubrey was born while I was on my

mission and Jocelyn was born while we lived in Korea. They are expecting a new baby girl in November.

Holli is VERY talented in many ways, but extremely talented musically.

In high school, when we were not cruising the boulevard in her

1981 ford focus we were sitting around the piano while she

played any song on demand. (did I mention we were also

the two most popular people at school?)

We already decided I have to die first so that Holli can

play and sing, "Let it be" at my funeral.

Some of you might recognize her from Boo and I's Utah wedding reception.

Her and her sister Juli sang an incredible version of our song,

Danny's song.

Holli's husband Joe has had kidney issues since birth.

But it has become crucial that he gets a kidney transplant.

His brother is a perfect match, but due to Joe's condition,

getting health insurance has been proved impossible.

Lots of love, hope and prayers to Holli, Joe, Aubrey, Jocelyn and Baby Catherine.
