Man gets heart from daughter

This article is about a man who had heart trouble. His daughter died in a car accident and had said she would be an organ donor. They decided to give him his daughter's heart, and it worked. One thing that is interesting about the article is that even after she died, he felt that she was encouraging him to do it. It made me wonder: Is is possible to get messages from the dead? -Tom Leverett
