Mother hears dead daughter's heartbeat in donor recipient

WDRB
MEADE COUNTY, Ky. (WDRB) -- There's an old saying that every ending leads to the beginning of something new.

For Cathy Mattingly and Elzierine Powell those words couldn't be more true. Their journey began in 2009 on a rural road in Meade County. That's the site of a crash that changed their lives forever.

"When you're coming down this hill there's a sharp curve and there was snow on the road and she lost control," Mattingly said.

Mattingly was describing how her daughter, Carissa Foushee, slammed head-on into a truck on December 7th, 2009. Foushee's 2-year-old daughter, Addie, and 6-year-old son, Rance, were in the car.
