It not only celebrates the life and <br /> work of Sophie Steiner,who tragically died at the age of 14 last August, <br /> but also the lives of her peers at the United Church who learned a lot <br /> from her being—and passing. <br /> Sophie was an exceptionally generous and authentic person who <br /> embraced life and illness with great strength and wisdom. She had the <br /> capacity to form relationships with people of all ages and was always <br /> interested in the lives of others. American-Swiss by birth, Sophie spent <br /> many summers hiking with her family in Switzerland. <br /> In the booklet of her writings and blogs (which the Carrboro Branch <br /> Library's Art Committee has compiled to accompany this exhibition) <br /> Sophie's excitement about life is outstanding even though she became <br /> well aware of her pending demise. <br /> As her sisters Annabel and Else Steiner write "When each of us makes <br /> something out of our lives and does big, meaningful things, that is <br /> Sophie's legacy and we will know that she is smiling" <br /> We are honored to feature Sophie Steiner's life and work at the <br /> Carrboro Branch Library. <br />
