IN MEMORY OF EVE CARSON

This drawing is in honor of Eve Carson, whose life was celebrated by her friends today at the University of North Carolina. The more that I learned about this young woman after her death, the more I prayed for her school, her friends, and especially her family. I cannot imagine their sorrow at losing so suddenly such a bright and shining light. I can only reverence it. But I felt compelled to offer this small memorial, for it seems that she was truly someone who spent herself in service to others. "May flights of Angels sing thee to thy rest." Eternal Rest give unto her O Lord, and may Perpetual Light shine upon her."

"I love UNC. I love the quad in spring and the arboretum in the fall. I love the pit on a sunny day and graham memorial lounge on a rainy one. I love Roy all the time. But what makes UNC truly special is not our beautiful campus, our distinguished reputation or even our basketball team. It's us - the student body - who make UNC what it is." - Eve Carson
