Atlanta artist Preston Shurley painted two works of art Sunday during Kajal Patel's remembrance celebration, but all who attended played a part in their creation.

Classmates, teachers and family members wrote special messages to Kajal as they entered the Spartan Center. Then, during the two-hour ceremony, Preston splashed the canvases with bright colors, finishing them with an image of Kajal and the words "Be a Hero for Kajal."
