A 2-year-old Indianapolis girl,whose family's final wish was to see her attend preschool, has lost her battle with brain cancer.
We first introduced you to Ava Parker last month.
That's when Ava's grandma arranged for her to attend preschool for a day --a wish come true for the Parker family.
Doctors found a tumor in Ava's brain in December of 2012. It required surgery and weeks of radiation and chemo therapy.
After a brief glimmer of hope late last year, doctors discovered her tumor had tripled -- and she likely would not make it much longer.
Sadly, Ava passed away Thursday morning. But her story of strength and courage took social media by storm.
A Facebook page was set up for Ava, which says 'We are AvaStrong!' across the top.
