Breathing for Two

Heart and Lungs   (Image from Gray's Anatomy)
While Jackie Price was breathing, Angela Justice was intently listening. 

Justice was hearing the sound of her deceased daughter’s lungs breathing new life into Price. This was the result of an organ donation after daughter Samantha had died in a car crash.

Inside Edition reports that “long before her death, Samantha decided to become an organ donor.” Her lungs turned out to be a perfect match for 26-year-old Jackie Price, who had been desperately suffering from cystic fibrosis.

Bonding intensified even further between these two families when Justice’s other daughter Sara asked Price to be the bridesmaid at her upcoming wedding. Sara then explained:  I’m the sister of the woman whose lungs breathe for you every day. So, if you’re willing, please say you’ll be my bridesmaid now and my newfound sister at heart forever.
