Roxie Washington, Gianna’s mother, also said that Gianna didn’t have to play with anyone as George was going to play with his daughter all day long. She also said that her daughter was George’s “little girl” and “he loved his little girl”.
Yet Roxie said that while her daughter knew that her father died, she hadn’t yet been able to find the words to elaborate on the circumstances surrounding George’s death.
