Jarren Jasper returns home, roughly two weeks following a heart transplant

It was very fitting that Jarren Jasper came home on Valentine’s Day.

That national celebration of love that is symbolized by the image of a red heart was the ideal day for Ivin and Donna Jasper to bring their teen-aged son home from the hospital.
