I was struck by a quote that I think sums up the essence of this gift, &#8216;The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit.&#8217; I commend the individuals who have given one of the greatest gifts in order to multiply their lives into the future. Their legacy will linger long into the future, and their contribution will not be ignored, but celebrated, admired and honored.&#8221; &#8212; <B>Elliot Tapprich, first-year physical therapy student<\/B><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The generosity and sacrifice that is a part of these gifts drives us to be great students, which leads to more competent providers in the future. Books only go so far and to be able to visualize and practice the concepts of anatomy personally helped us learn so much more. Because of the knowledge we have learned from these generous gifts, we will be able to serve our patients with better decision making, greater knowledge and deeper wisdom.&#8221; &#8212; <B>Austen
