When Cindy Corlett lost her daughter Molly, her world shattered. But even in the heartbreak, knowing that Molly saved five lives through organ donation became a source of healing. Molly had proudly checked the box when she got her license at 16. That one decision has kept her memory alive in the most meaningful way.
