About Gianna
Gianna, 16 years old of Warwick, RI developed a sore throat Oct. 13, 2017, that worsened into pneumonia, then sepsis, a life-threatening blood infection. Doctors amputated her leg in hopes of curbing the infection, however, multiple vital organs continued to fail. On November 1st, Gianna passed away. The disease that got into Gianna's beautiful little body was much larger than her. The disease won, but not without the most courageous battle.
