However, Henry’s mother, Carolyn Glaspy, has ensured that her son’s legacy will extend beyond the football field.
Moments after doctors told Glaspy that Henry’s injuries were too severe for survival, she decided to donate his organs. The lives of Brian Polk, Donna Arnold, James Benton and Thomas Elliot were saved after receiving Henry’s organs. Polk received a kidney, Benton received a liver, Arnold received a pancreas and a kidney, and Elliot received two lungs.
The touching story was featured on the CBS’ pregame NFL show on Thursday afternoon. –a.r.
