GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. -- Rainbows will honor a toddler police say was starved to death in Gwinnett County.

Reygan Moon’s funeral will be held Saturday in Lilburn.

Police said the 29-year-old mother starved the little girl, who weighed just 14 pounds even though she was just a month shy of 3 years old.
