When River passed away in 2011, one month before his first birthday, Stone said that the knowledge that River’s organs saved three lives was the thing that supported them
The most throughout their grieving process. At the time, she told People, “My godson’s ability to save three lives—two infants and a 45-year-old man—was a haven for our family.” It is impossible to predict when a catastrophe may strike in your life or in your family,
But this option to donate your organs rescued our family. “There are a lot of different opinions about this, but ultimately, it brought us some peace.”
