Roy B. Hodges Disabled American Veterans DAV Chapter 128 of San Antonio TX hosted a seminar called "Are You Ready? What You Need to Know when Death Strikes Your Home.". Some of Delta Kappa's Sorors attended the seminar. Soror Anita Franklin distributed GHW bags to remind the veteran community that RSV, COVID, whooping cough, measles, and flu is alive and well, especially for our age groups.

Ms. Addie (on the right) is a faithful member of the Vintage Jewels Red Hats in San Antonio and my friend who lives one neighborhood over from me. She had a major stroke in September 2025. She was admitted into the hospital and provided encouragement to get well. This stroke has slowed down this busy traveling lady. Since cardiovascular issues are major among African Americans, we kept on her during recovery. We met her daughters who live out of the state. Since Ms. Addie can no longer drive, I make sure to invite her to events and pick her up. Also, we visit her at home for movies, food, and fellowship.

A lesson learned for us ladies of different ages: we need to take time to call or text (GIF plus a sentence). We always tell each other, "Love you Sis", because life is short and God may decide to call us home. Never get caught saying, "I forgot to tell her how much I love her and what she means to me." That's what "sisterly love" is all about.

Delta Kappa Chapter Vice President Franklin reports on the death of a loved one.

The word "L-O-V-E" can encompass many events in our lives especially when it is happiness, gladness, fun-filled, and awesomeness. Sometimes there is another side of love we don't discuss often enough until it happens, death of a loved one. Delta Kappa Chapter San Antonio had our share: the deaths of our remaining Shads during the end of 2025. It was heartbreaking. These great respectable men are truly loved and will truly be missed. We Sorors are happy to be there for our sisters during these trying times. That's what we do.
