Such a tragedy...her time on this earth was far too short, but from these photos, it's clear that the brief time she did have was filled with friendship and happiness. My prayers go out to her family and to all her friends.
The memorial video itself is incredibly touching...I only wish it could have incorporated some video footage (and not just photos) from Lauren Burk's life. I'm sure that hearing her voice again would be very important to her loved ones.
god rest her soul, prayers to her family. ive made 250 shirts with "hang courtney lockhart" on the front & "srtring em up & let em lay" on the back, not making this a marketing thing, just really passionate about this case, i wear my shirt with pride and for the memory of this fallen angel whose death was unfair. for info on one of these shirts, call 678-489-3690 between 3pm and 9pm mon-sun. thanx, and god bless her soul.
I'm a criminal justice/ law enforcement major and this type of crap really ticks me off I hope Her killer gets the death penalty and when i say death penalty i mean i hope they take him out in a car and geta gun and blow that S.O.B to bits just like he did her. i hate people that kill people for no reason. Him and Satan are going to be best friends someday while he's french frying in hell
its so tragic when young people depart so early. especially women and children, to all her friends, family, and loved ones. remember the good times you had with her. where she is she would not want to comeback anyway so just be happy that she is in a better place. Everyone wants to go to Heaven but no one wants to die.
My suggestion to the person who posted this video tribute is to honestly turn off comments. The video is a tribute and if people want to talk/discuss/bitch/moan/fight/whatever, anything other than remember this girl- I say do it elsewhere...
this was a tribute to her, to celebrate the life she lived and we all need to respect that... and seriously if all you right is dumb shit, why the hell are you writing anyting at all, go fucking get a life
no I am not, I have no social life, I basically only have 2 friends to hang out with, but they are boring, they only have me as a friend, they don't have cars, they don't have their license, I never get invited to parties, I have Asperger Syndrome, I always have a hard time socializing with people, I can't get a girlfriend, I can't get laid, and Prostitutes do not count for me, basically I am always stuck at home on weekends, always on MySpace and Facebook, I have every right to be depressed
This is supposed to be a MEMORIAL VIDEO. Nothing more,nothing less.There are arenas and forums that are much better suited to discuss racial tensions.But to chose this video as a focus point is pathetic.
This a TRIBUTE VIDEO!!Not meant as a sounding ground for racism from either side.You want to talk that type of nonsense their are plenty ok KKK videos here on YouTube.Go knock yourselves out.Leave this video for people that have common decency which you evidently lack.
real murderers go to the memorial service of their victims. was he at the memorial service 90 + percent of all murderers go to their victims memorial services, and vigils.
Why are you people still here discussing racism?This is a memorial video.The "monster" whether he be white,black,yellow,red or green is irrelevant.He has been caught and he happened to be black.Get over it!!
Even though I grew up in the ghetto and I am hispanic and grew up around violence from both hispanics and blacks, I agree and disagree, because it has to do with economic background, poverty, not race. I used to think like you, but you're not going to tell me that if I walked into an all white poor neighborhood, that I wouldn't be strung up by my heels and robbed? but I do side with Bill Cosby on this one in that MOST crimes are committed by blacks DISPROPORTIONATely. Blacks need to fix this.
I lived in a black community for 16 years before I moved and I'm "still alive"!!Amazing huh?And I'm as white as the driven snow.Only had a run in with one idiot.Who was watching my back and stopped it?A black guy!!
Save your racist views for shallow,narrow minded idiots.I was glad when I heard they had caught this maniac,but once I heard he was black did I go "WOW I knew it had to be a black dude"?No!!I would'nt have been suprised if it was a white guy either.
This video I am sure was made out of Respect,Honor and Love for the Cherished young Ms.Burk and for her friends and Family who are very much Grieving on this eve of her funeral. So sad it seems some of you post messages that are so vulgar..Most disrespectful!
I have some even better ideas for you crookedsystem08.Take your medication,pick up your phone,make sure you don't block it so it can be traced,call the local police,then give them an earful of what you think.
guys please stop arguing and saying mean and racist comments.just give your condolences to lauren and her family and remember the great person she was. that's the purpose of this video.
Sorry, Sanitizer, but the fact remains that Lauren's murder is not uncommon. The fact remains that blacks do this to whites very often. It's a savage phenomenon in American and it is constantly being swept under the rug in the name of "racial harmony." Having a black friend or voting for Obama will not make this go away.
When white people like me provide facts about black crime, we don't say it just because we want to dislike blacks. I'm not looking to dislike anyone. I'm just aware of reality and propose that whites will be much better off if we look out for our interests the way that other races are allowed to do for their own.
yeah well if you knew how horrible my life is, you would probably understand, I have every right to be negative and rude, because nobody ever gives me a chance!!!
Honestly, in America today, only a black person can think of killing a college student just to get a few hundred dollars at most. They have that twisted sense of entitlement that we see every day. Even if I could imagine myself to be the most dastardly robber on earth, addicted to every drug that has ever been produced, I would still not rob and kill a hard working, totally innocent 18 year old student for what little cash she/he has.
Honestly, I think you're reaching quite a bit JCLanza...after all, if a white serial killer seeks this innocent young lady out it is still every bit of a dastardly deed as if someone were to kill this girl for money...it's still murder. I don't see why color is an issue...where are you when a dirty white pedophile rapes and murders a white college student???
My point is clear...wrong is wrong regardless of color.
It's bad for whites to kill too. The problem is it is commonplace to see black murderers, robbers, and rapists. And elitist society is not interested in pointing out that it is a threat to white FOR BEING WHITE PEOPLE. In fact, elitists insist on castigating white people who are aware of this reality as the ultimate evil, instead of the blacks who kill rape, and rob. Blacks in general are lukewarm at best in their condemnation of black criminality, preferring to blame whites instead.
The racist stuff on here is garbage but it gets old when you see a crime on the news and not all the time but most its the same group. Inner city trash that steals and murders and blames society
You know what's getting old to me? Black-on-white violence, and how people like you who act like our awareness of it is evil on par with the actual violent crimes themselves.
Thank's for giving me a chance to express my deepest sympathies.. most especially to her family,and also to her friends who absolutly Had to Love Her no doubt. I never met this Precious Angel but I cry everytime the News reports on her.
What a senseless crime! I am so saddened as many Auburn people are by the taking of this young girl's life. I attended Auburn as did my father, brother and sisters and am shocked that this has happened there. I never could imagine anything like this ever happening at Auburn. I know that the Auburn Police Dept. and ABI/FBI will find this killer-you can see it in their eyes at press conferences! For now though, let God's Peace be with her family and friends. Our prayers are with them all!
This is so, very sad. I am terribly shocked by this ordeal! I am a graduate of AU, and my niece attends there now. She is only 19, and I am sure shaken by this week's events. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Burk family and her friends. Us Auburn folk are a family too. May you find the peace and comfort to carry on, and may Auburn students move forward with vigilance.
Lauren's an amazing person. Every time i was in the room with her and all her friends no one would ever be sad. She always had a smile on her face and was full of joy all the time. Not once did she not shine that bright beautifull smile. She was an amazing friend and she is in a better place now and we will once be reunited again someday. She will always be in my heart forever. I love you and miss you Lauren~ <3
To the family and friends of this young lady, I offer you a heat felt sympathy to you. I only pray that is monster is caught and pays for this tragedy. May God give her parents and sibling the strength to go thru this time.
