Thousands mourn at funeral for 9-year-old Christina Green

Christina Taylor Green’s funeral service was held yesterday. Christina was the 9-year-old little girl that was killed the Tucson shooting. 2,000 mourners came to say good-bye to Christina at the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church. Hundreds of people wearing white lined the streets, motorcycle riders were on watch, and there were more than a dozen people dressed as angels. Christina was the only girl on her little league team, and she was a budding politician. She believed in God and would have said today “God has loved me so much. He has put his hand on me and prepared a place for me.” Bishop Gerald Kicanas predicted.

This is such a sad tragedy. It’s amazing to read about how many people attend the memorial service and how many lives Christina touched. I’m glad that many people came to protect the service from protestors that have such disrespect. She looked like she had a bright future and it’s sad to see her life end early. Reading about what her friends and family had to say was very moving. They had such high hopes for her and they miss her greatly. It’s sad to think that her young friends have to deal with the death of a friend at such a young age.

  1. I couldn't agree with Danielle more with her opinion on the story. Is such a terrible sad story for the whole state to have to deal with but especially what her family and friends have to deal with and especially with her at such a young age. She did not deserve to die and now there is one less touching person on this world. She sounded like she had such a bright future in front of her and had a good head on her shoulders. Whoever she was killed by should be punshied for all of the pain is causing to such a wide variety of people.
