Honor Walk in Tribute to Elizabeth "Libby" Hanzl D'Avignon

[@FabianPyka]

the honor walks should be continued or put into place in every hospital around the world

[@LovinLifeLivinRight]

Because of people like her, i can watch my children grow up. I may even be lucky enough to see Grandbabies. My love for selfless people unconditional. Thank you so much ❤️

[@cindygreenough6721]

What a beautiful way to respect and thank this lady for her gift of life to others...R.I.P. xx

[@andreataylor284]

You people are absolutely heroes. The difference you make in complete strangers lives is remarkable.

[@dannystamps7294]

Rest in peace Libby. What a very heroic act. Love and prayers for the family 💖💖

[@brega6286]

I have lost two of my children but neither was a situation that they could have been organ donors although both had inicated their willingness. As a 50 year licensed health care professional I have been on both sides. I am so glad that these honor walks have become a part of care. Blessings to those who ahve passed and their loved ones who honor life yet suffer such loss.

[@MetalDrummer_666]

There are no words when watching these incredible occasions. As someone who already values everyday as a gift watching honour walks reminds me how fragile life is. Bless you all, every family that experiences this. My love, comfort and respect 💕

[@maryklein4598]

Thanks for your selfless sacrifice to those that are organ donors we salute you

[@henriettagoldsmith5056]

God bless you Libby and family ❤

[@ronniechilds2002]

I received a liver transplant in 2014 from a 26-year-old father of a toddler. I have met his family, but it never really occurred to me the went through a version of this. Man!

[@inkedmomblu1510]

It’s so emotion. What a blessing. I think it’s so special to meet the family. Im glad you got the gift of life and are doing good

[@makokoro9073]

I just recently at the hospitals I been, they have close to the lobby the wall of heroes, which is full of photos of people that have been organ donors.

[@nancyflaherty7038]

What a beautiful gesture for both donor and receiver~

[@FastNCurious88]

Nancy Flaherty and honestly, all of that positive, thankful energy is aiding in the success of everyone who receives an organ from someone who’s had an honor walk.

[@czechmate6916]

I’ve got that on my drivers license years ago. I hope more people would contribute it doesn’t cost you a penny to save other lives. 🙏🙏☮️💟✝️🌹💐

[@joannklinner2284]

May God bless you with me you have done such a wonderful thing. I am praying for you and your family. 🙏🙏🙏

[@Turkeyinthehay]

I'm so overwhelmed at these honour walks... such heart-touching respect for the patient and family. Just beautiful.

[@supercat380]

My thoughts and prayers for the family of this wonderful lady who gifted people her organs. This is the ultimate act of human generosity and kindness!!

[@sandracoppola5572]

Why can’t we be this respectful to eachother every Day of our Lives? You are a great Human Being Libby! GOD wraps you in HIS Love into eternity

[@bynro7]

Beth, I have known you since the day you were born since my mother and your mother were sisters. I learned at the age of 13 how to change diapers because of you! So many fond memories. You are now with Nana, my parents, Grandbee and others. A life far too short was yours. Rest in peace, Libby.

[@Jojo-ru1rz]

So sorry for your loss. May her beautiful soul rest in Heave.

[@krazeelety]

I am truly saddened by watching this and reading your post. I have no words to even make your pain any better. She is a beautiful lady. I imagine even more so, all those memories she has left behind. God Bless.

[@donnarupert4926]

Robyn McCarthy....May God bless you and the rest of Libby’s family and grant you peace 💕🙋🏽‍♀️🕊

[@jamssnana4084]

I'm so very sorry for your loss. She sounds like a wonderful person. Four lives... She saved four lives! What an angel. The world is a better place for having head her in it. God bless all those who loved her.

[@LeslieToronto1971]

I am so sorry for you loss. Libby sounds as if she was one amazing Lady. This gesture she made only proves how generous she was.

[@wilfriedklasen4631]

What a beautiful way to honor people who give their organs to others to live.

[@jamssnana4084]

The most touching thing I've seen in quite a while. God bless everyone who knew her and is mourning her loss. I pray for comfort for you.

[@BooneErica]

I thought only tv shows do this, awesome to see this in real life!

[@howdelydoo]

They've been doing it in Asia for a while. Especially when it's children who are the donors. It's beautiful...

[@amandalynmosby4537]

My hospital in Pennsylvania does this. It is so touching as a nurse to my colleagues come together to support the family. Amazing tribute!

[@maribethgougoutris1415]

Beautiful!! God bless!! Thank you for your precious gift!

[@2115virgo13]

Love the respect she deserved. What a precious gift her and family have giving!! RIP Libby, beautiful life giver. Not only as a mother but a donor.

[@sheilacarter7875]

Rest in eternal peace Libby.❤Thank you and all organ donors who give life to others so they can live ❤

[@brandonbarney6271]

These donors... these HEROS... gave all so others might have a better life. My niece just received a liver transplant from an organ donor. She's been suffering for decades from Biliary Atresia disease, now she has new hope for a better life. I can't imagine greater love. They're better than us all. May God bless Elizabeth Hanzl D'Avignon and her courageous family forever.

[@mjcamck]

A very close, dear friend of ours received a liver transplant so that, at age 50, he could live on and provide for his family. A few years later, he worked at holding his emotions in check as he walked his daughter down the aisle and, later, provided a toast at his son's wedding. MUCH ADMIRATION to the medical community. You DO, every day, work MIRACLES!

[@diannaralston9877]

Wow just beautiful!! That's how it should b everywhere!! Bless the family!!

[@iromag]

This is beautiful! What a wonderful gift of generosity by Jennifer and her family! And it warms my heart to see us as a community represented by you, our healthcare family, honoring her with such compassion! Thank you!!

[@anngirling8043]

I'm a nurse in the UK.I have NEVER seen anything as moving as this.Im in pieces.Bless all of you all.xxxxxx

[@makokoro9073]

You guys don't even have the wall of heroes? Here in the USA, some hospitals have close to the lobby or entrance of the hospital, a wall full of photos of people that donated their organs.

[@templarknight4768]

Who is unlikeing this video. ? Has no heart I'm doing same if I can save lives after im called home and live on in someone giving them life again at a great gift

[@scrapbookedmemories7736]

I wish my hospital would have done this in 1994, I can feel the grief in my heart when I was the sole RN handing off to the OR RN to a patient for harvesting. This brings the human connection to the experience. RN's are human and this hospital recognizes the human experience.

[@hopenoneya8161]

I sooo wish the medical community would use a different term than harvesting. Ugggg it sounds horrible, and makes it sound creepy like something from a horror movie.

[@helenrussell5634]

I am so sorry for your loss. By what I have read it seems that Libby was just as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside. May she Rest In Peace.

[@makokoro9073]

Back then families were not allowed to meet each other i remember. Donor families and recipient families Now, I am so glad things had changed so much

[@uzomah821]

Mary Madrigal you are so right about this. Thank Our Creator for true evolution- we are learning what is better. Almighty God truly knows what is Best!

[@bradh3139]

Ms Parker, I’ve known many RNs professionally, personally and as a family member when my parents were in the dying process. Your daily nonstop empathy, compassion, strength, intelligence, humor and calm in chaos are inspirational. Your above words are proof of that. Thank you to nurses everywhere And to Libby and her family.

[@dorehoss5008]

This is the greatest gift. Tomorrow there will be an honor walk for my sisters friend. I cannot imagine how bittersweet this must be. It gave me chills, warmed my heart and made me nauseous .🥰🥰❤❤

[@rrpoulin]

Love this dedication, thank you Libby

[@adaperez2794]

I am honoring your beautiful soul Elizabeth by watching this video you change my mind about being an organ donor forever you leave in other people's life and mind RIP forever to remember😇❤️❤️

[@victoriahazard1181]

I love watching these beautiful videos my heart hurts for the families but it's beautiful that they honor this donor in such a beautiful way they r all angels God Bless u all🙏🙏 and especially these beautiful angels that give the give of life💖

[@choirkitty]

This is truly beautiful. May Libbys spirit live on in the lives she saved with her gift ♥️

[@onetoughmserjeni8918]

This made me change my mind. Thank you for being a hero for so many. Prayers for her family may God continue to comfort them like only he can.

[@karinboschaart276]

Jeni Jones it is great but will not change my mind.

[@hephaestus511]

Karin Boschaart About what

[@aprilmcdaniel8372]

God bless you rest in paradise 😇 you are a lesson for all and such a selfless act . I also am an organ donor because of you. Thank you

[@jolenehauck7019]

What a wonderful gift! There are no words to express that can help when you lose a loved one. I know this all to well. However being able to have their loved one live on in other is gift to the world! Making the choose to be a donor and giving the gift of life touches so many more than the recipients anyone who hears the story is moved! So Thank you to the family, the care team and the friends of this amazing women! As i said there are no words for loss but you will all have a place in my heart! Big hugs, tons of love & be safe!

[@Racingirl911]

It sounds like this world is truly a better place because you were here, Libby. May you Rest In Peace, knowing that in your death, you gave life. My deepest respect goes to you...

[@lizb853]

Elizabeth lives on both in body and spirit. Her body in a way carries on with different parts transplanted into other bodies and that keeps her as it were physically alive. As for the rest, well, live NEVER EVER dies, that it IMPOSSIBLE, and although Libby as she was known to all who loved her isn't there in her familiar form , her heart abd her love is in ALL her loved ones and friends, so she really can NEVER die. She'll ALWAYS be with you, no matter what.

[@carolestrycharz9038]

Elizabeth rest in peace angel. You are a brave and courageous woman to save others lives. God Bless You and Your Family 💞

[@marynichols438]

I have watched a few of these types of videos. I appreciate that you explained the how's and whys of the honor walk. Thank you.

[@godisgoodallthetime7622]

One of the greatest gift. She may pass on. And yet she will continue to live because others live through her.

[@ncredbird3998]

We do this at the hospital where I work as a nurse. The gift of this life that g gives forward to others so they can live their best, healthiest life is beyond measure. Her gift has carried another family through their struggle and she and each donor live on through each they help. The recipients smile is also the donor smiling, each laugh they share, each blessing of everyday they share, each day is a gift most treasured and thankful for. Any that choose to be an organ donor and the family of one that decides to help are angels, not letting their hurt prevent them from thinking of others. This is beautiful and truly show the heart and soul of a person.

[@bigG88]

Outstanding. Just outstanding.

[@mariemindt4989]

Beautiful beyond words

[@hubertadolfo2265]

I will light a candle for her... shes an angel

[@makokoro9073]

To be the first honor walk, it was an amazing one. This video honoring Elizabeth "Libby" Hanzl D'Avignon was very beautiful and moving, thanks.

[@tmc6228]

God bless Libby, her family, and those she saved....beautiful, just beautiul.

[@eejwelshtaff]

My deepest Respects to this brave lady and her family from Wales UK.

[@debbieevans1602]

Wonderful tribute to a amazing woman giving the gift of life ,bless her x

[@lakitawashington3161]

The same team just didn't honor walk for my brother a couple of weeks ago up until that point I never knew what an honor walk was. But I honestly have to say this team has been the most caring and loving staff and that I see you it was definitely a beautiful moment for my brother Dalton. He was 18 and we found out there was a recipient for his heart he passed away after him and my stepmom was in a car accident so it's very moving to be able to go back and see how it started with this particular facility!

[@lisamartinez1125]

Im a donor too and its the best thing a person can give of themselves after we have passed. To be able to save lives and have parts of of myself live on is something im extremely proud of😊

[@chrismoss9060]

[@thenativeamericans]

Anyone who doesn't cry at this is tougher than I am. Usually few videos move me to tears.

[@thenativeamericans]

[@wisencareful4645]

What a woman, what a family, Libby is a Hero of mine now as is the family , she gives life to others selflessly as does her family, a hard decision to enact but done graciously so for others to live on, I know this Why ? because I am a surgeon. I have dealt with families in this position & let me tell you they are all amazing people and I am super humbled every time ... God Bless you all as my work is giving life as is theirs.

[@cloudie8314]

[@carolynhall1302]

[@joeblack8375]

That so cool, and great that honor walk is something a hospital can do and will do.

[@cynthiahawkins2389]

People who think of this option while they are alive - so that in death, their wish to help others will be followed. It shows a kind of gracious heart and soul that goes beyond words. Thank you, kind lady..Others are alive now because of you. People you will never know...have a second chance. God bless you.

[@lizacomida2733]

Oh that's a true amazing to save others life that you didn't think your own life because your own goal is to save others life and to the family how really grateful you are that you have her as your wife, mother, grandmother or daughter and relatives

[@janetjimg]

A dear young mom of two precious little girls and a wife was killed suddenly two months ago. Because of her organ donation, an eleven month old baby girl and two women received the gift of life. I can’t watch this video without breaking up.

[@ChubbyUnicorn]

An elite few have saved lives. Libby is one of them.

[@karlagarcia1851]

[@rosebud6485]

Everyone needs to be an organ donor. I am registered on my driver license and my family is fully aware that if something happens to me, I want to help by donating anything usable to someone who needs it.

[@janetmiller2160]

Me also, for years now. Why not? I won't be needing them.

[@GeorgeAlexa]

Eternal Rest Grant Unto Her O Lord; and let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul rest in peace.

[@elainephleps4705]

A simple act of donating can save so many. Put yes on your drivers lc. And let family and friends and your doc.s know that is your wish. God bless her family in honoring her.god bless

[@kellbell2114]

Wow, that was powerful!

[@michaelagolia4882]

God bless her and all who receive her organs everyone should be come a donor when I turned 17 and received my license my grandmother was with me and she explained to me how important it was to check that box

[@kathyturner6177]

So hard to watch but really a beautiful thing these hospitals do.

[@lindathrall5133]
