"From one mother to another mother," she said through tears to Paco Rodriguez's mother, Maria, "nobody could understand it but yourself. I thank you for the gift that you've given us because without him, she wouldn't be alive, either."
"How can you thank someone for a gift like that," Davis said. "You can't. It's hard to say thank you."
Sonia Rodriguez said, "It's hard to accept that he's gone but, because of him, other people live. A piece of him is still there, so that makes me happy."
