WESTVALE -- Sue Burns knows first hand the gift of life.
A little more than two decades ago, doctors told her she needed a new kidney.
After a year on dialysis, Sue got that kidney and a second chance at life through her younger sister Beth, almost an exact match.
“Every single day you've had that second chance of life and some things that may bother people, they don't bother me, you're just like -- alright, this is life, and I'm going to live it to the fullest,” said Burns.
21 years later, Sue and her husband, Tom, think about that gift everyday.
They’ve been married 41 years. Together, they’ve been able to watch their two sons grow up, get married and have kids of their own.
