“The Measure of Life is not its’ Duration, but its’ Donation” 


In this episode, you’ll hear the story of Nancy Saulter,  a person whose life and legacy of stepping up to meet the needs of others, epitomized the quote by Peter Marshall. 

Tragically losing her father to suicide when she was nine years old, Nancy and her family were comforted by the kindness of their extended family and neighbors.  It was this kindness that inspired her to help and care for others  her entire life. 

Nancy’s daughter, Janet, will tell how her mother opened not only her heart, but her home to others, especially those who were lonely or in need.

The apple didn’t fall far from the tree. Janet, like her mother, feels the same passion to step up in many ways, including  donating one of her kidneys to a friend. Since donating her kidney, she has been actively involved with an organization called the Transplant Games of America and participates as an athlete.

Music: "With Loved Ones" Jay Man
