Blacksburg Vigil Candle

A stained glass window design commemorating the tragic losses at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg this week. My eldest daughter Lynsey is going to Grad school there during this summer and will be working in Student Affairs & Administration.

Feel free to copy and use the design for your own meditations. The school colors are represented in the candle and flame.
