There was alot of trepidation in my heart when I read about these three young KD's. I felt really bad for everyone involved, because I know firsthand what a chapter goes through when it loses one of its members.
One summer I called one of my sorority sisters to see how she was doing and she informed me that one of my sisters had been in a car accident and had been killed. I was in another state and no one called me. Another girl from another chapter on campus had been seriously injured, but she was expected back for recruitment that year, with newly-cut bangs to cover the scars from stitches on her forehead.
I know how I felt back then and I still think of this girl occasionally. I also know how it affected the whole chapter-everyone goes into a mourning phase. I watched it really affect her closest friends in the house. Her parents sent a grandfather clock to the chapter with a memorial plaque on it. My prayers are with Jamie and with the chapter. Some bleak days are ahead as this chapter copes with its loss. However, these two girls will always remain within the hearts of the sisters that loved them. There is no icon for tears.
