Vigil Tribute/display
Crystal Globe…
raises name to pay tribute
A special alter is erected at the site where the homicide occurred. Fabric cut-outs allow the artist to isolate an individual square on the quilt to pay special tribute to a single victim for a vigil or other tribute where a family has gathered in remembrance. The tribute square is centered and draped over the alter. A clear crystal globe is then placed over the victim’s name simulating the raising of a single square above the rest for special recognition. Community members then adorn the area around the globe with flowers fruits and trinkets. Family and friends are encouraged to get pictures and video of this moment-in-time for keepsake.
Heartbreaking loss of life. No Mother or Father should be faced with such loss. Special prayers for the auntie, siblings the wounded child and children who experienced this terror in that vehicle on that day. Our hearts go out to this family as well as Durham and Raleigh communities for this tragic loss of life we have suffered with the loss of this child…A child destined for greatness as the world is a better place because Zyon lived and died among us.
