To the Editor:

Last week a very dear friend of ours lost a relative who was unfortunately involved in an automobile accident. I did not know this person, but I now place her in my hero column along with so many other individuals who have given something of themselves to others.

She was an organ donor, allowing her body to be used for the benefit of others. I did a little research and found that by donating organs and tissues, you can affect up to 75 people.
