SAN ANTONIO -- Eight years ago, Lalie Gomez's daughter, Yvette, then 20 years old, was in a motorcycle accident.
"We recieved a phone call from her best friend that she was at (Brooke Army Medical Center)," Gomez said.
She and her husband rushed to the hospital, where Yvette was declared brain dead.
Still on life support, they were confronted with a decision no parent wants to make: whether or not they donate their daughter's organs.
"We didn't hesitate," she said. "We just automatically signed the papers."
Yvette's heart was given to a man named Chuck, a father of two who lives in Corpus Christi.
"There hasn't been a Mother's Day or Yvette's birthday or the day he received his transplant that he doesn't call," she said.
