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....

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.

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.
