I never met Faith, but all that I have heard about her these past few days echoes of kindness, unrelenting selflessness, and something so special that no one can quite put their finger on it. I have heard her teachers and friends say that her smile was the biggest, brightest, and most beautiful, and she could quite accurately be described by her favorite word - 'chipper'.
Not that you can ever truly quantify a person's greatness by the magnitude of people who step up to honor them afterwards, but tonight it was evident in every single Tarheel present that Faith truly was a great (no - tremendous) person. She touched so many with her 'bubbliness', benevolence, and optimism. Honoring Faith tonight reminded us to take care of each other, love one another, and always be our best selves, even when life deals us challenges.
