Mandy was killed in an off-roading accident on Labor Day of 2006 when she was 18 years old. She had just started college to pursue her dream of being a special education teacher. Her grandfather had received a heart and kidney from a donor in 1994 and he lived 9 years after that special gift, so organ donation was something very important to her and to our family. Mandy was able to donate all 8 major organs to 6 people and donate tissue to countless others. We are very grateful that she was able to make such a difference in the lives of so many families even in death.
