Gazebo dedicated to memory of life-saving girl

WZZM 13 | Matt Campbell
ROCKFORD, Mich. (WZZM) -- A memorial is now in place for a Rockford girl who died saving her sister's life.

Family and friends dedicated Chiara's Quiet Grace Gazebo outside Roguewood Elementary School on Thursday night.

In July 2008, Chiara Wysong Howard and her younger sister got caught in a rip current on Lake Michigan. Chiara drowned while keeping her sister afloat. The nine-year-old also saved at least three other lives-- through organ donation.
