Lauren Burk Tribute

Dear Viviane,
This Marietta community loves you. Our hands are stretched out to you as we all miss Lauren. Our hearts are sending you our love.
God bless you.
With love,

my name is kim haralson, i did not know your daughter but she was a beautiful girl. i have a daughter her age, who is in college in carrollton and when i heard of your tragedy, it just sent a chill through me. to think that there is some type of animal out there that would take such a beautiful person from this earth as your daughter. my sincere sympathy is with you and my prayers are with you and your family. there is no punishment good enought for the animal that did this to your child, and when he is caught i hope his remaining days on earth will be pure hell. i know it sounds horrible for me to say this, but that is how i feel and one day he will face his final judgement when he stands before god. may god give you strenght to continue living as hard as it maybe, but just know that your daughter is in a better place and she can know be your guardian angel. if there is anything i can do for you, do not hestitate to email me. i live about an hour and a half from auburn. if you need a place to stay or just someone to talk to email me and i will give you my phone number. again may god be with you and keep you in his grace. i will continue to pray for you.

Burk (as us laxers knew her) was always smiling at every practice. She was one of the sweetest people I have ever met. My freshman year, she always offered me rides after practice, and we would have a blast singing our hearts out in her car. All the memories I have with Burk only make me smile. We had a great time traveling to Spain last year, and she and sean were inseperable : ). Her kind heartt was shown by her generosity- she did not have a mean bone in her body!
She will truly be missed. I am so lucky to have had her in my life. They moments I shared with her were blessings

All of high school, I would walk into homeroom and see Lauren smiling. She was one of those people whose smile could make a day seem better.

Sadly, I never got the chance to meet Lauren but as a sister of Delta Gamma, I feel like I know her. She will forever be in my thoughts. My prayers go out to Lauren, her family, friends, and to the Delta Sigma Chapter. My sincere and deepest condolences.

from a fellow Delta Gamma (Eta Epsilon- Vanderbilt), my heart goes out to Lauren's family, friends and sisters during this awful time. Take care of each other and take care of yourselves, and know that she is in a better place.. God Bless.
