I found out that or main competitor's Pledge educator (NM coordinator or whatever) committed suicide this morning. She just turned 23. I didn't personally know her but many of my friends did and I feel so bad for them, her other friends and her family.

Suicide rarely happens in our student community, this is the first case in 10 years, just so shocked.

^^ Definitely keeping her sisters, friends and family in my prayers.

Ditto. :(

Thank you so much

Oh my! Sending prayers to her family, sorority sisters and your college community.

Tulip86, thank you for letting us know. It gives all of us a chance to pay our respects in a thoughtful way.

Please pray for my family, especially my dad, his siblings and mother, that they may finally have some closure as my uncle is laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery tomorrow morning. Sad I cannot be there, I will need to make a trip to D.C. soon.

You got it. ((((((((lovespink88's family))))))))

lovespink88, your family is in my thoughts

One of my boyfriend's closest fraternity brothers was diagnosed with lukeimia last February. He had his six month check this much and his prognosis is even worse. He started chemotherapy today. Please pray for him and his fiancé. He had actually just proposed to her last December, but things have been put on hold.

The former student for whom I did the Melanoma 5K yesterday? Admitted to the hospital today after having seizures. At least one of her brain tumors has increased in size.

So very unfair.

Please, please lift up Ashley and her family in prayer. I am just heartsick at what this YOUNG woman has had to endure.

Lifting Ashley and her family up in prayer.

An Alpha Gam sister's daughter was admitted to the hospital today with pneumonia after more than a week of two different attempts at antibiotics have failed. Please pray for her.

My dad has a long history of heart problems but has been doing great for the last 15 years. He went to the doctor with shortness of breath. He now has fluid around his lungs and heart and is going in for a heart catheterization on Friday. It sounded like CHF to me but he said they said his blood work didn't indicate CHF. He doesn't always understand the medical terms so I don't know what the doctors are saying for sure. But, I know that he needs prayers. It has been 21 years since his last heart attack and 16 years since his hypertrophic cardiomyopathy has progressed at all. He's been doing really well, til now.

Thank you, thank you - if you want an update on Ashley (and the family's thanks) check this out: http://thedenbyclan.wordpress.com/

One of my good friend's mother passed away early this morning. She had been battling cancer for a while and he had went on a leave of absence early in the semester to spend time with her. I really wish I could be there for him right now in person. :(

*praying*

May God provide both physical and emotional healing to those going through difficult times right now.
