AVON PARK — Baby Alexa Hall is gone but her spirit may carry on in the hopes and smiles of three others. The family of the 3-month-old, who died as the result of shaken baby syndrome Tuesday, has donated the baby's organs to help save the lives of three babies in three far-off cities. The infant was brought to the Florida Hospital of Sebring's emergency room early Monday after having difficulty breathing.
