An indelible mark

I don't feel better after hearing that Laurence Alvin Lovette Jr. will spend the rest of his life behind bars with no chance of parole, but I do feel like justice did all it could do. 

"I, in some way, feel like anything the court will say will do no better than their silence in preserving Eve's memory in this situation, but I think it should be said that this act has no place in our society.  The life that Ms. Carson led was too short, but I know that she continues to be an inspiration, not only for her family but for thousands in this community and across this country.  If there can be a marker at which it can be said that the family can turn a page and attempt to move forward in whatever way they can, I hope that today can be that day for them. I know that the days have been long and hard for many years. I hope that they can become a little brighter with the end of this trial," Superior Court Judge Allen Baddour said. 

I have this picture on my refrigerator in Louisville, Kentucky to remind me to keep pursuing my passions, and I'm doing it because that's what Eve would want.
