The Thomas family of Lehighton was among about 100 parishioners of St. Peter's Union Church of Mantzville who heard a presentation about organ and tissue donation Sunday by Gift of Life Donor Program Regional Community Relations Coordinator Susan Koomar. Pictured with one of Gift of Life's memorial quilts are, from left: Lorah, 8; Kailee, 6; Marsha; Anthony; Olivia, 8; and Alex, 9. Anthony's mother, Donna Delpero, 55, of Tamaqua, saved multiple lives as an organ donor and helped many more people as a tissue donor when she died in September. SPECIAL TO THE TIMES NEWS
