My prayers go out to all GreekChat members who have friends and family members affected by the events of last Tuesday. I share your sorrow. I am the bearer of sad news this morning as well. Last week, I learned that one of my chapter sisters, Anna, had lost her roommate in Tuesday's attacks. I didn't find out until today that Anna's roommate was also one of my Delta Zeta sisters.
Both girls were flight attendants for United Airlines and were stationed out of Boston. Tuesday morning, the girls got up early for their flights. Anna was, ironically enough, on a flight to Chicago to get her Emergency Flight Procedures re-certification. Her roommate, Alicia Titus, was working on Flight 175 heading from Boston to Los Angeles. Flight 175 never made it to Los Angeles. It was one of the hijacked planes that crashed into the World Trade Center.
Anna lost her good friend and roommate. Delta Zeta lost a sister.
Alicia Titus was an alumna of Alpha Chapter at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio. She was 27 years old and Anna describes her as a very sweet girl who always had a smile on her face. Please pray for her friends and family as they struggle to cope with their loss.
Also, please pray for Anna. She is currently stuck in a Chicago hotel, waiting for the airline to send her back to Boston. She is unable to visit her family in Georgia because the FBI and FAA have suspended all free travel pass privileges for the time being.
Finally, please keep the Goodchild family in your thoughts. Lynn Goodchild, a passenger on Flight 175, was the niece of one of my co-workers. She was only 25 years old. Our office is currently collecting donations for the Red Cross in her honor.
Everyone, try to have a good week. Keep your heads up and have faith in America. We'll get through this and become stronger in spite of those who wish us harm.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
