Sam

[sweetheart03]

I was one of Sam's best friends, and upon returning from her funeral in Nebraska am saddened by the media's potrayal of Sam.
I personaly was chased to my car every time I went outside, followed on campus from class to class, heckled at her candlelight vigil held here, literally followed to Nebraska for her funeral service and burial. And immediatly after we watched her casket lowered as we walked to our cars we were photographed and hounded by reporters. Companies that have advertisments in the Denver Post have pulled their advertisments from the paper due to biased and tasteless reporting on the papers part. Her website was a private photo album not intended to be hacked into by reporters.
All who knew Sam knew how amazing and unique she was.

No matter what, the blame cannot be placed on the members of sigma pi or anyone else. When something so tragic and unexpected occurs, people tend to need something/someone to heave their own insecurity and pain upon.
Sam was an amazing woman and I am a better person to have known her.
I hope the good to come from this is people looking at their own lives and reevaluate your own drinking habits and understand this could happen to anyone even your best friend.
