Erlana Larkins Rebounding After Brother's Death

Posted Jan 15, 2007

The first time someone North Carolina junior forward Erlana Larkins knew died, she was in seventh grade. One of her friends was hit by a car when he went to retrieve his shoe that he had lost while running across the street. Since then, Larkins has lost other friends and relatives. A cousin and an uncle. Two years ago, her sister Kanika died of AIDS at 26. Then last month, her brother Jarrad died. He was 29. (Hartford Courant)
