And I was pleased to discover that her family did donate her organs. According to AZCentral.com:

Christina-Taylor Green, the 9-year-old girl killed in Saturday's shootings in Tucson, donated her organs.

She was one of six people killed in the shooting that targeted U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords outside a Safeway store northwest of Tucson. Giffords remains in critical condition.
