Super happy to here they were organ donors!! What a beautiful gift they’ve given to others in the face of such tragedy.
On the 9th birthday he didn’t live to see, Conner Snyder is remembered with balloons by Kempton community
More at the link:
In the crowd was 17-year-old Owen Snyder, left to grieve for his little brother and sister. Not there was the children’s mother, Lisa Snyder, who made the 911 call at 4:30 p.m. on Sept. 23 that brought state police to the unimaginable scene.
Owen declined to talk to a reporter, as did others. The event wasn’t announced or advertised, but reserved for those closest to the children: family members, friends and teachers.
State police are investigating the deaths.
On a table, framed photos of the kids being kids were on display — Conner and Brinley in school, at a pool, on a playground. Along with the photos was artwork from Conner, a painting of flowers in a vase. Bookending the painting were two organ donation certificates, recognizing the gift each of the children gave in passing.
“Through the compassionate decision to help others through organ, tissue or cornea donation,” the certificates read, Conner and Brinley have “provided hope to the men, women and children who are in need of a life saving or life enhancing transplant.”
