One of my college roommates was killed this past weekend tragically by her boyfriend. I didn't know if I would write about this on my blog or not, but it has bothered me extremely bad. To the point sometimes of losing sleep. I just can't understand why this happened to her. She had so much to live for.
Brandy Lynn Slimp Dillon and I attended Jacksonville State University together. That pretty smile you see on her face in the picture is what I remember best about her. That is the way I will keep her in my memory. There were several of us who lived together on the same floor in the Sparkman Dorm our freshman year at JSU and we've all been on the phone sharing our Brandy memories laughing together. Even our sophomore year all of us girls lived next door to each other off campus. My favorite memory of Brandy is her always stealing my fingernail polish.
Brandy, I will forever miss you and wonder why this had to happen to you.
Brandy leaves behind a son, Austin.
Austin, you will forever be in my prayers as well as the Slimp family.

Hi Amber,
Thank you so much for sharing your sweet memories of Brandy with us.
You actually brought a smile to our family with the fingernail polish story. As you can imagine, smiles have been a rarity for us these past few months. We really appreciated your humor! Believe it or not, she was a fanatic with her nails until the day we lost her so tragically.
We are keeping these sweet stories from all of you so that one day we can share them with Austin when he gets a little older.
Thanks Again,
Rita Slimp
(Brandy's Mom)
I think about Brandy everyday and miss her. I think about the good times and laugh. It's so good to hear from you, Rita. I'm glad you got the chance to read the post.
I am keeping your family in my prayers.
Stay Strong,
Amber Stuart
Her smile in this picture is the way I will remember her as well. The funeral was sad, seeing everyone under such extreme circumstances was rough. There were lots of tears but lots of laughs as well, just remembering her and her sometimes crazy antics. I know that she will be remembered in such a way that the thought her her will continue to make people who knew her smile and those who did not, wish they had.
Hope to see you soon girlie. We should really all stay in touch as often as we can.
