9-Year-Old Shooting Victim's (Christina) Organs Save a Life
Born on the tragic day of Sept. 11, 2001 and killed during the tragic Ariz. shootings -- another day that marked tragedy in the U.S. -- Christina Green's brief life made a large impact on the lives of many, including a child on the East Coast, who benefitted from the donation of Green's organs.

The Arizona Republic reports that a friend helping the Green family said the organ donation network called on Jan. 12, telling them that Green's donation had already saved the life of a child on the East Coast.

Rev. Gerald Kicanas, Bishop of Tucson, told mourners at the 9-year-old's funeral that her organs were donated.

1. Out of terrible tragedy is life for someone else
Happy for the life saved and at the same time so very sad to lose Christina.
