I would like to give thanks to a hero who saved my life. That person is Alex Burdette, an Anderson County sheriff's officer killed while protecting his citizens March 2005. Alex, while not only giving of himself during his life, was also giving even at death by being an organ and tissue donor. Several people's lives were saved, including mine with his kidney, and numerous other lives were greatly enhanced and given hope. Words can not express our gratitude to Alex and his wife and children. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13
