Pro-life community suffers third tragic loss
Tragically, a third member of the Students for Life of America family has passed away as the result of a horrific car accident that happened October 8. Read about the deaths of Kortney Blythe Gordon and her preborn daughter Sophy here.
This morning Jon Scharfenberger, 22, SFLA’s Pregnant on Campus Coordinator and Campus Support Coordinator, succumbed to injuries sustained in that accident. Jon was the front seat passenger next to Kortney.
