2 all who had an opinion or commented on how Natasha left!!! That is something personal and even though it is public it should not b spoken about in anyone’s comments!!!! Her family has enough 2 think about!! Don’t remind them about how she died because it’s not important!!! This should be a wake up call for all not just those who are experiencing depression but for the whole world!!! Natasha was sweet, kind, hilarious, warm, and I will never forget her big bright smile she always had on her face :) so stop it with all the extra comments and leave something pleasant for her close friends and family 2 read!!!
I didn’t know Cordie all that much, but from the short time I interacted with her, I knew she was a sweet girl. She was always so friendly and fun to be around with. We went to freshman orientation together, we had two classes together, and we were both part of the SAIL program. She would greet me whenever we saw each other outside of class. She was such a beautiful girl inside and out. I can’t believe she’s gone. This has seriously brought shock and sadness to me. RIP, Cordie. You’re in a much better place now.
She went to my high school…. She was always smiling and happy…… I feel for her friends and family. Prayers go out to them.
I knew this girl i have taken several classes with her as we both were in nursing, she was very sweet to me when ever she saw me and always stopped by to talk. She was a lovely girl with a big heart, and this is shocking to me, when i 1st heard that she died i couldnt believe it, when i read this page and saw her picture, shivers came down my body. Its odd how life works out. I will truly miss her:'(
I am in deep pain to hear that such a wonderful person left us. Cordie was an amazing and beautiful spirit. When times were up and down for me she was there to give me some answers. We have a strong friendship that will never be forgotten.through thick and thin she pulled me through situations and never gave up on me. Im crushed and in denial. My beautiful friend and loving mentor Cordie Natasha Zahara… I love you girl. Rip. You worked your hardest and you were my idol. Peace be with you.
Did she fall?
Well I didn’t know her but she must have been going through a tremendous amount of stress. My prayers go out to her and her family.
RIP Cordie. In memory of you, we should all look out more for fellow students, friends and family who may be experiencing stress, depression or other signs which could lead to suicide. God bless your family.
@Candy Reyes out of the most respect it is none of your business nor anyone else’s of why she did what she did. Cordie was an amazing person and beautiful inside and out. She looked out for everyone all the time and was brilliant. That is the only thing she should be remembered for. RIP Cordie …we love you and miss you!
YOU KNOW! I really don’t understand how can no one SEE HER! It’s by faculties office! and they do have Windows, also faculties uses that bridge ALL the time to go to their classes. WTH! >:(
I herd she committed suicide because her parents being to strict and got a B on a test!…
Apparently, Candy, you did not know Natasha! She was an honors student and on the Dean’s list!
I barely knew Cordie but I liked her so much. she was such an awesome person
Cordie Natasha was an amazing young woman. Her smile lit up the room. She was fun, silly and had a big heart. She always went out of her way to help others.
My prayer and empathy are with her family may God. place a peace on them that surpasses all understanding.
