（轉帖，非原創）以下是關於我前幾天提到的一個朋友家的女兒的信息：
我懷著十分沉痛的心，向大家報知一個悲痛的消息。
寶貴的生命，人生隻有一次。死亡，感覺很遙遠，但當它突然降臨在我們的身邊，這是何等的震驚與心痛! 二O一三年六月十三號傍晚的一場短暫的夏日風暴，竟然奪走了一位年輕美麗的生命。在下午五點左右，做了一天義工的南雪舟（Julia Nan）同學正要趕回家，走在 Chapel Hill , E. Franklin St, 313號房前的紅磚人行道上。突然，門前一棵巨大的古樹被強勁的風暴吹倒，把雪舟重重地砸倒在地。過路人紛紛施救，呼叫911。雪舟被送到UNC醫院，但由於她的頭部受到嚴重的摔傷，當天夜晚，雪舟永遠地離開了我們。
南雪舟，年僅20歲，係UNC-CH畢業班學生。她是一位懷揣理想，品學兼優，樂於助人，多才多藝的優秀學生。雪舟十歲來美，中英兼修，十分流利；就讀於Panther Creek High School期間，成績名列全校第二, 榮獲 過NC Academic Scholars, Scholar Athlete Award 等多項獎勵；進入UNC-CH之後，她更加刻苦勤奮，計劃明年畢業，用三年時間獲得Biology 和Phycology雙學士和Chemistry Minor學位，然後進入牙醫學院深造。課餘，雪舟常常為社區，圖書館，學校做義工，還經常幫助學習有困難的同學；在上大學之前，雪舟曾長期在洛麗中文學校做義工，為老師和學生們複印學習材料，盡心盡力，深得老師和同學們的讚賞。雪舟也是許多社團的積極人士，是學校Human Rights & Social Justice Club 的創始人之一。雪舟是一位積極向上，獨立性強的學生，中學期間，便在Duke 大學醫學院，牙醫疹所，快歺店等地方實習，打工，和鍛煉自身能力。在家裏，雪舟是一位乖巧的女兒，爸媽的好幫手，會耐心照顧和指導幼小的妹妹們，常常在打工勞累歸來時，為妹妹們帶回一盒壽司。雪舟是一位陽光，甜美的女孩，遇到長輩，總會笑著叫一聲：叔叔好! 阿姨好! 雪舟還彈得一手好鋼琴⋯
如此優秀的學生，如此可愛的女兒，20 歲花季，飛揚的青春，瞬間被一場無情的風暴奪走了。
以下是治喪信息：
