In the letter Savannah sent to John, she wrote about Donovan’s pride in his Italian heritage. John and his wife told Donovan’s family they recently took a trip to Italy and lit a candle for him while they were there.
John’s wife, Liza Sueme, told CNN, “My husband wouldn’t have been able to go on that trip without the gift Donovan gave him. It’s just all overwhelming to think this all happened.”
Savannah is convinced Donovan had something to do with their meeting. In her Facebook post, she writes, “I think Donovan arranged us to meet this way. What are the chances of this happening?”
Donovan’s siblings couldn’t be prouder of their brother for being an organ donor or more ecstatic that they were able to meet the recipient of his heart. “This gives us peace,” Katie told CNN. “We know he isn’t coming back but a sigh of relief knowing they are so appreciative of all that.”
The Bulgers and the Suemes are now bonded for life. Savannah told CNN, “We went to the game as six but left as nine. We are family.” This is all thanks to Donovan’s generosity as an organ donor, and thanks to a chance encounter at a baseball game that neither of the families expected to happen.
