Balloons fill the air at Central Middle School in Dobson, where the memory of cancer victim Carrie Elmore was honored Friday, less than two days after she died at age 11. Carrie’s parents and brother, along with grandparents, aunts, cousins and others, were on hand for the event at the school, viewed as a healing measure for Carrie’s loved ones and friends. Students circled the entire baseball field and released the balloons, the yellow ones signifying Ewing’s sarcoma, which the girl had battled for six years. A memorial luncheon and motorcycle ride fundraiser will be held Sunday at Copeland Baptist Church, which Carrie attended, with food to be served at 12:30 p.m. and the ride starting at 1:30 p.m.
