Kiara Ellee Hinze was diagnosed with Grade III Anaplastic Astrocytoma in December of 2017. This is a very rare form of brain cancer. She fought courageously and bravely for a little over two and a half years. Sadly, she passed away at the age of thirteen on the morning of Wednesday, April 22nd. We all love and adore her so much and she will be greatly missed.
