President Obama asked the nation to live up to Christina's expectations
Christina Taylor Green, the nine-year-old killed in Saturday's shooting in Arizona, has been buried, marking the first of six such funerals.
Christina, whom President Barack Obama hailed on Wednesday night, was a top student, dancer and athlete.
She had hoped to meet Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords at a constituency event on Saturday when she was killed and Ms Giffords gravely injured.
Doctors say Ms Giffords is making "encouraging" progress in hospital.
They said they had begun intense physical therapy, and that she was able to lift her legs on command.
Jared Loughner, 22, is jailed pending trial in the attack in the city of Tucson. Six people were killed in the shooting, including Christina Green and a federal judge. More than a dozen were wounded. - BBC
