BIRMINGHAM, Ala. ( WBRC ) - The family of 18-year-old Cleveland High School cheerleader Kimber Mills said their final goodbyes as she prepared to give the gift of life to others.

Mills, who was shot in Jefferson County over the weekend , will save several lives through organ donation. Her family says this is what she wanted.

Her sister shared that Kimber’s heart and lungs have already been matched with recipients. Earlier Tuesday evening, hospital staff joined family and friends for an Honor Walk - a ceremony where medical workers line the hallway to honor a patient before the organ donation process begins.

Mills was one of four people shot Saturday night at a party in a wooded area near Clay-Palmerdale Road.
