Grambling State University is offering condolences to the family and friends of Amanda Lee, a 2013 graduate of GSU and a student about to study for her masters degree, who passed away unexpectedly on Nov. 27.
“I know how very difficult it is to face the death of someone like Amanda, a bright, vivacious college student with her whole life ahead of her, especially during the holidays,” President Willie Larkin said. “I offer my heartfelt condolences to Amanda’s family and friends, and I ask the Grambling community to be strong during this time of loss. I ask that you remember and celebrate Amanda’s life and offer prayers and support for her friends, family and loved ones left behind.”
Lee traveled to Grambling from Riviere Cyrique, Dominica, in January 2010 to study accounting. She graduated from GSU in December 2013 with a Bachelor of Science degree in accounting. She was set to return to Grambling in the spring 2016 semester to pursue a graduate degree. Lee was a member of St. Benedict Catholic Church and a member of the choir.
Amanda is survived by her brother, Alleyne Polydore, of New York, and her sister, Jodi-Anne Lee, a medical student in Cuba.
A candlelight vigil was held in her memory on Wednesday.
I am saddened by her passing. May the family find strength in this loss.
When I read the first article, I had already expressed my condolence to her family.
Take heart, God is with you and comforting you.
She had a bright future ahead of her and would soon be undertaking another phase of her studies. I am curious to know, as others, what caused her sudden passing.
Rest in God’s glory and peace, Amanda!
As a Christian Catholic I will remember her soul in my prayers. In fact, I have been doing that ever since I heard she passed on including other D/cans, in whatever manner they passed on
Our Loving God knows best. He is merciful.
God bless your soul. In Jesus Name I pray!
My deepest condolences to the family
May her soul rest in eternal peace. I feel for her family at a time like this when she was set to begin a new chapter with such a bright future; it is definitely not easy losing a child. The Lord had other plans and his plans always prevail. May her family take comfort in knowing that she is welcomed into the arms of Lord! He will wipe every tear away.
Condolences to Amanda’s family and friends. She is in a better place. God never gives us more than we can bare. Hold strong sis
