Her sorority issued a statement to the media, which tried to put the tough time her new sisters are going through into words.
“We are thoroughly devastated by the loss of Ann Hefferin,” said Jackye Brown Clark, the Delta Delta Delta women’s Fraternity president, based out of Texas-Arlington. “Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with her family and all of our members of Beta Lambda.”
While Hefferin was new to UCF, she was not new to Orlando. She attended Bishop Moore High School, where she was selected as a member of Homecoming Court. Those who knew her have started a memorial group on Facebook to share their memories of the UCF freshman.
Just like her DDD sisters, her high school friends took her sudden death extremely hard.
“It feels like just yesterday we were sitting in the same spanish 2 class and then talking about colleges together and now she’s gone,” Michael Echevarria posted on the Facebook memorial page. “I can’t believe she’s gone. It wasn’t her time to go, she’s was too young and beautiful and so genuine. I love you annie, watch over me please?”
“We are so sad this day,” Valerie Pringle posted on the Facebook memorial. “Annie touched so lives with her inner beauty, her infectious smile, and her warm heart. Our prayers are with the family at this time.”
KnightNews.com will work to help get the word out about memorial plans and ways her friends, classmates and sisters can help those mourning heal.
DDD told media that messages of condolences may be sent to Beta Lambda Chapter, c/o Delta Delta Delta Executive Office, 2331 Brookhollow Plaza Dr., Arlington, TX, 76006.
