PARK CITY, Utah—Family and friends of a Paraguayan woman who was killed in an accident in Park City just before the holidays, returned to Utah Friday to meet the woman who received her heart.

Gabriela Caballero-Lopez's life was cut short when she was hit and killed in an accident in Park City. Now, her memory lives on in the minds of her friends and family and in the heart of one woman who "Gabby" gave the ultimate gift of life to.

“She was a really wonderful person and her heart was so big that she was able to donate her organs to give life to other people,” says Gabby’s friend Fabio Delgado.

“Gabby,” as friends called her, donated her heart to a Salt Lake woman, Allyson Gamble, who is now able to take care of her young son.
