Iowa Monks DOnate Casket for 9-Year old Tucson Victim

A group of Roman Catholic monks in Iowa has donated a hand-crafted casket to the family of a 9-year-old girl killed in last weekend's mass shooting in Arizona. The casket for Christina Taylor Green was made by Trappist Caskets, which is owned by the New Melleray Abbey near Dubuque. The casket was customized and blessed by the monks before it was shipped to Arizona. The child's funeral is Thursday in Tucson.
