IOWA CITY — “You’ll be with me like a handprint on my heart.” That lyric from the musical, “Wicked,” and a transplanted heart that is beating to this day, continue to link two families from Eastern Iowa and upstate New York. For New York’s Holly Campbell, the song “For Good” was the goodbye she sang to her son, Jake, who died at 11 weeks after he stopped breathing in the summer of 2007. For Muscatine’s Kim Scadlock, “For Good” was the song she sung to her son, Beckham, after he emerged from heart transplant surgery at 2 weeks old. As the two moms discovered later, it was Jake’s heart that saved Beckham’s life.
