Robyn Deterding, right, and her husband, Mike, stand Thursday next to an image of a 'floragraph' made from a photo of their son Teddy, who died in 2000, in Robyn Deterding's office at the University of Illinois' Activities and Recreation Center in Champaign. The floragraph — a picture assembled using flowers, seeds and spices — will appear as part of the Donate Life float in the Jan. 1 Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, Calif.
She believes one arrived, though "it wasn't the miracle we wanted," she says.
Teddy Deterding died just days after the July 2000 car accident that happened 3 miles from the family's home in White Heath.
And because his parents allowed him to be an organ donor, his kidneys and pancreas saved the lives of two other people and his corneas restored someone else's sight.
