JONESBORO -- The background of the stage was lit in red, the color of the Red Wolves.
In the foreground, over a dozen arrangements of various colored flowers -- some red, others pink -- overspread the steps of the stage. At the base of the center of the stage sat a coffin wrapped in more flowers and a photo of a family.
On the giant video screens, a portrait of the late Wendy Anderson -- the wife of Arkansas State University football Coach Blake Anderson -- was accompanied with the phrase "In our hearts forever," and the hashtag that has circulated on Twitter this week and for many months prior -- #NotFightingAlone.
