Deepest Sympathies...
 

I received this email from a Phi Mu sister this morning:

As some of you know I am the Sorority Advisor at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Last night I received a phone call about a member of one of the sororities found dead. Apparently her boyfriend shot her and then killed himself. She was a member of Delta Sigma Theta, VP of the NPHC, in many other campus organizations, and was expecting to graduate in May. I am struggling with dealing with this--I can't imagine how her sisters are feeling. So if any of you can send some prayer this way...her name is Keyosha Spikes.

Our prayers are with everyone who knew and loved her.

Another bright star cut down in her prime! Prayers to the chapter and the soror's friends and family....

all i can say is :mad: :mad: :mad:

I am so sorry to hear that. Prayers to her family and sorors. :(

What a terrible loss :(

prayers to her family and sorors of the chapter. so terrible.

Sending up prayers now. :(

Me as well :(

Wow, I hope her family and sisters are holding up. She had her whole life ahead of her.

Stories like this make me sick to my stomach, I'll never understand why some people commit such actions.

So sad...got to be more careful of who you date.

Wow! I am so sorry to hear that. Prayers go out to her family, chapter Sorors, and friends...:(

This is so sad!!!! :( :(

Condolences to her family, friends and chapter sorors.

My goodness, another senseless murder? :(

My sincerest condolences to her friends and family.

This is AWFUL!!!:mad: I pray for both of thier families.

That is so very sad. My prayers are with both families. I always tell my girls at the group home I work at to be very careful when choosing boyfriends.

It saddens me to hear stories like this. Too sad. :(

This is so sad. :(

:(

My prayers and condolences go out to both families.

(I'm so tired of hearing about these senseless tragedies. Sad just can't encompass how I feel.)

How aweful! Prayers and well wishes to all conencted to this yourg woman.

I remember seeing information about this on the news last week. So sad!

My prayers are with all who are affected by this tragedy.

Another senseless tragedy. :(:mad::(:mad:

I just found out that this soror is actually one of my chapter soror's cousin. In addition, my Line Sister's -sister pledged that chapter. Small world. But in all things God's will is done whether we understand or not.

My condolences to her family and friends. Another senseless crime involving a woman. Ladies please be careful. SMH

I didn't know her because she came along a while after I left UL, but some of the people I used to hang with out there know her. I learned of the story through them on Facebook. It's really sad when stuff like this happens. :(

i had read about this young attorney who is one of your sorority sisters who was killed recently in Cincinnati. please pray for Delta Margaret Allen and her family.

Funeral set for Margaret Allen
By Sheila McLaughlin • smclaughlin@enquirer.com • August 6, 2008

A memorial service for attorney Margaret “Missy”Allen, who was strangled last month in her Fairfield home on Whitmore Lane, is set for noon Saturday at Lincoln Heights Missionary Baptist Church, 9991 Wayne Ave., Woodlawn.


Visitation with the family will be 10:30 a.m. at the church. A Delta Sigma Theta Sorority service will be held at 10 a.m.

Memorial donations may be made to Women Helping Women, 217 E. Ninth St., 7th Floor, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202; Summer Work Experience in Law (SWEL), PO Box 36593, Cincinnati, Ohio 45236-0593; or YWCA Battered Women’s Shelter, 898 Walnut St., Cincinnati, Ohio 45202.

Allen’s body was found in a wooded area at Schmidt Field in Cincinnati’s East End on July 27.

Police have not made an arrest in the case. Butler County Prosecutor Robin Piper said there is a primary suspect.

The investigation has focused on her boyfriend, according to Allen’s relatives.

Attorney Richard Goldberg, who represents the boyfriend, said his client – an ex-con with a history of violence -- has cooperated with police and has supplied them with his DNA and fingerprints.

Condolences to her family, friends and chapter sorors. :(
