Memorial Photo Gallery

These are the "Faces of Hereditary Hemochromatosis"...

These photos represent our loved ones, our parents, our children, our sisters and brothers...our friends, our co-workers, and our families.  All of these people pictured here have died needlessly due to hereditary hemochromatosis.   They will live in our memory forever, and serve as an inspiration to those left behind to spread the word about hemochromatosis.

"Forever in our Hearts"

Josephine Bogie Thomas

Born: April 25, 1921/Mt. Sterling , KY

Died: May 13, 1999/Pittsburgh, PA

Mom, it has been five long years since hereditary hemochromatosis, iron overload disease stole your precious life from us. You were our inspiration and reason for founding the American Hemochromatosis Society.  Your legacy of helping others to avoid your fate is our daily quest as we carry on your work of awareness and education.

We miss you more than you can know. We know you are waiting for us someday. You are our "Iron Angel". Until we meet again...

Love, Joe Thomas, your husband, Sandra Thomas, your daughter, and David Snyder, your friend.
