Bob Byrnes
Bob Byrnes was a loving husband, father and grandfather. He also was a very special member of the Garden State Pulmonary Fibrosis Support Group. Bob had the ability to approach each task positively and readily; no task was too difficult for him to accomplish. Bob navigated his journey through Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis with dignity and grace. Unable to gain admission into a lung transplant program, Bob embraced his role as an Esbriet Ambassador, sharing his knowledge and insights into this life-threatening disease. Bob’s resolve and graceful acceptance of his eventual outcome was truly comforting and inspirational to others struggling with their journey. When Bob spoke, his approach was always gentle, supportive and respectful. He gave others confidence and greater meaning to their lives. Learning something new from Bob was really a reflection on your thoughts. All of us in the Garden State Pulmonary Fibrosis Support Group were blessed to have known him.

It is almost 6 years since my daughter had a heart transplant at Penn and I had the opportunity to stay at the Gift of Life House. It was a nice experience at a very emotional time in our lives since her onset was abrupt. It was great to be able to meet other people who were going through similar situations. Thank you for the support and meals that we received.

George Gibbs
George received a double lung transplant in 2011. He volunteered at the GOL house for 6 years driving the Van and participating in the house at nights. He loved volunteering. Felt like he was giving back. We were grateful for his donor and for the University of Penn docs, nurses, everyone who helped including GOL. Thank you everyone. Be a donor! 💚💙💚💙

Billy, You were taken too soon and it’s not fair.
I’ll never forget the memories we share. Your caring heart
and loving smile made many lives more worthwhile.
Your generous heart saved the lives of five strangers.
Three are no longer strangers to your family and they are forever
grateful.
They live on because you cared about others.
I miss you everyday and keep you in my heart.
‘Til we meet again, my loving son.
Love
Mom
