Community Contribution: Community Remembers a Bright Light Asha Weir

November 2, 2023 by Mackenzie Grace

My Dearest Asha,

I find myself sitting down to write this letter, my heart heavy with the void your absence has left in my life and in our beloved Alpha Phi sisterhood. I miss you more than words can express, and it’s been a journey of profound sorrow and reflection since that fateful day when you were taken from us far too soon.

You were not just my big sister in Alpha Phi; you were a guiding light in my life. Your laughter, your wisdom and your unwavering support were constants that I cherished. Your presence could brighten even the darkest of days, and now that radiance is an irreplaceable loss.

The tragic accident that claimed your life has left a wound that may never fully heal. I often find myself reminiscing about the beautiful moments we shared — the laughter, the tears and the bond that defined our time together.

Your radiant smile, your warmth and your unwavering friendship are deeply missed, not just by me but by all of us who had the privilege of knowing you. Asha, the depth of your absence is immeasurable.

But in the memories we hold dear, you continue to inspire us. Your kindness, strength and love continue to live on, serving as a testament to the remarkable person you were.

We find solace and strength in the beautiful memories we shared with you.

Though you’re no longer with us in the physical sense, your spirit is very much alive in our hearts. You live on through the joy we shared, the tears we wiped away and the profound impact you had on each of our lives. We honor you by living our lives to the fullest, just as you did, and by striving to carry forward the love and compassion that you so beautifully embodied.

Asha, until the day we reunite, may you rest in peace, basking in the warmth and light of Heaven. You are constantly in my thoughts and in my heart. I’ll never stop missing you and cherishing the moments we had together.

With all my love and an ache that will never fade,

Mackenzie Grace
