Sisters in Death

I was really saddened by a news story over the weekend. Three young sorority girls were killed in a head-on collision.

The three girls, members of the sorority Alpha Xi, were leaving Bowling Green, Ohio, on their way to enjoy spring break. There were two other girls in the car, who were seriously injured and the driver of the other car, also died. The other driver, a 69-year-old woman was reportedly going the wrong way on the Interstate for over seven miles. The girls (maybe fortunately) never even knew what hit them.

I was in a sorority and when I look at their pictures, it's like looking at my sorority's portraits. I cannot imagine what their family and friends are going through. To lose a child, a sister, a friend in such a horrific way has to be beyond devastating.

Unfortunately, tragic stories like this happen everyday and you never know what tomorrow holds. So, remember to live life to the fullest and always tell your loved ones that you love them.

You never know when it might be the last thing you ever say to them.

  1. Oh, this is so sad to me. It's always difficult for me to understand why some young people leave our world so soon. Praying for their families tonight.

  2. I know I told you this but this hit close to home! I went to graduate school at BGSU and was a House Director for a sorority there. I don't know these girls personally but know people who do. It is so tragic. The BG community is very close and very strong and my heart goes out to all of them.
