Five people received organs donated by FDNY firefighter Billy Moon.
"It's an infinite life that he can donate to someone else and someone he donates to can donate to another person and the fact that two of them are local and are NYC firemen is even a bigger part of his legacy," Kristina Moon said.
Two of the recipients were retired FDNY firefighters, one of them FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanaugh spoke of at Moon's funeral. "Billy's lungs have literally breathed life... into Terrance Jordan. made him part of Terrance's story," Kavanaugh said."Being in the hospital when everything was not going the way we hoped it would go, I at least knew he'd carry on something and that his organs would help other people and it was something he really believed in," Kristina Moon said.
Billy moon was only 47 years old when he died, leaving behind his wife and two children, but his legacy of heroism endures and will no doubt make an impact on the next generation of firefighters.
