The LifeGift team is deeply saddened to report the loss of Teresa Shafer who passed away last week. Teresa was a major contributor to the founding of LifeGift, a mentor to many and a leader within the evolving organ donation and transplant community from the 1980s onward. She was a passionate advocate for all things LifeGift and Texas and a very well-respected researcher and author. Her work, especially in developing effective practices between OPOs and the Medical Examiner system in the United States, is still nationally recognized. LifeGift is grateful for her leadership and many contributions. Our deepest condolences to her family and her many friends and colleagues.
