Seven nested rings are featured in The SevenDays® Ripple – four filled with color and three left empty.
The three empty rings signify the lives tragically taken from us on April 13, 2014.
The four color-filled rings depict that community possesses a spirit filled with color, vibrance and life, that can never be taken away.

With this ripple, our goals are to remember those we have lost and, in their memory, to create a wave of positive change for the future.

Terri’s professional life was caring for the visually impaired, and she more than anyone else understood that visual impairment doesn’t mean that that person is less of a human being. Yet her life was ended by a man who was blind in a different way, blinded by prejudice.... We believe that had she lived, she would have forgiven this man. No question, she would have forgiven him. But for now, we remember Terri for her goodness. For Terri had the gift of seeing life quite clearly.
