Christina Taylor Green gave one last time, in the form of some of her organs, which were donated to a little girl in Boston. "It was very poignant to find out. That's what Christina was all about," father John Green tells CNN. "It's a blessing." Green said he and his wife would like to meet the recipient one day, "and I'd give her a big hug."
