I'm not ever going to get used to this (loss). I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.”

Jim Hilton

Kaylee's grandfather

Ashley Hilton said her daughter Kaylee Hilton's heart went to a baby in Illinois, her liver went to a baby in Texas and her kidneys were given to an adult in Oklahoma.

“Even though she's gone, she will live on through those people,” Hilton said. “The life she did have was good. She was the best baby ever.”

Midwest City Police Chief Brandon Clabes said Kaylee was in a car seat in a 1993 Dodge Shadow that was rear-ended by a pickup about 9 p.m. Sept. 22, in the 11400 block of SE 15 in Midwest City. Ashley Hilton, of Choctaw, was a passenger in the Dodge Shadow, which was being driven by Vincent Marino.

Clabes said Hilton was holding the child when paramedics arrived. Medics examined the girl and noticed she appeared to have a severe head injury.
