Matthew McIntyre died almost two decades ago at age 14 when a friend accidentally shot him with a handgun, Yahoo News reported. After his death, his mother, Vicki Brannon, now 56, decided to donate his organs. Brannon finally met the recipient of his heart, Jennifer Lentini, this past Valentine’s Day at the Tampa International Airport, the New York Daily News reported. The mother was able to listen to her son’s heart beat in Lentini’s chest for the first time.
