Back in 2004, Bryan Herrington, who is from Pensacola, died in an accident, but because he was an organ donor, five of his organs were used in life-saving operations. His wife's name is Terri and to honor him, she decided to register as a living donor, just in case she could ever help someone too.
One of Bryan's kidneys went to a guy named Jeffrey Granger who was on dialysis. 16 years later, Terri saved him again by giving him one of her kidneys. The surgery happened last year, and he's doing a lot better now. The bonus for Terri was she got to do one more thing with Bryan, 16 years after he died.
