In death, the spirit leaves the body. If this can give life to others.... |

In addition to living on in the spirit and in the memories of those who knew her, Emily lives on by the donation of her organs -- the ultimate gift of one person to another. Through organ donation, Emily was immediately able to save the lives of seven people and over time, her legacy will benefit many others. |
