LA Dodgers: “Fund established in memory of Christina Green”
LOS ANGELES — The family of Christina Taylor Green has established a charitable fund in memory of the 9-year-old slain on Saturday in the Tucson, Ariz., shooting that claimed six lives and injured 14 others, including Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.
Christina Taylor Green was the daughter of Dodgers scouting supervisor John Green and the granddaughter of longtime manager Dallas Green. She was attending the meet-and-greet for Giffords at a local market after being elected to her elementary school’s student council.
In response to the outpouring offers of support for the family, the Dodgers have established an e-mail address (greenfamily@dodgers.com) through which family, friends and members of the community can share thoughts and feelings about the tragedy. Submissions will be compiled in a memorial book for the family.
I am sending love and prayers to Christina’s family. I’ve been watching the funeral and hearing the bagpipes. She would have liked the music. I have 2 young daughters and I cannot imagine what you must be going through. She sounds like an remarkable girl and I know you are proud of her. Love and peace to you.
