Chandra Levy Obituary

CHANDRA ANN LEVY APRIL 14, 1977 - MAY ?, 2001 Born in Cleveland, Ohio

A strong soul was taken too early! Chandra is missed deeply and dearly by her mother, Susan; father, Robert and brother, Adam and all those who have been touched by her life and tragic end. She had so much to offer and was enthusiastic in her efforts to contribute to the betterment of the world.

During high school, Chandra won second place in the Modesto peace Essay Contest and was active in the Explorer Scouts program working for both the Modesto Police Dept. as well as the Modesto Bee Newspaper. Chandra graduated from San Francisco State University with a B.S. in Journalism and a Master's of Public Administration from the University of Southern California where she was a member of the Lambda Chapter of Pi Sigma Alpha, the National Political Science Honor Society.

Chandra was an intern for the Bureau of Secondary Education in Sacramento under Governor Davis as well as working in Los Angeles's Mayor Rariden's office. She also worked in Washington, D.C. in the Federal Bureau of Prisons. She was interested in pursuing a law degree and had submitted her application for employment with the FBI.

In line with Chandra's spirit and impact within her world, the following segment from the original Mother's Day Proclamation in 1870 by Julia Ward Howe:

Arise then...women of this day! Arise all women who have hearts! Whether your baptism be of water or of tears! Say firmly: We will not have questions answered by irrelevant agencies ... Let them solemnly take counsel with each other as to the means whereby the great human family can live in peace... each bearing after his own time the sacred impress, not of Caesar, but of God.

A private service will be held for family and close friends. Donations in Chandra's memory can be offered to the Wings of Protection, PO Box 579604, Modesto, CA, 95357 209-545-5569

The Levy family appreciates the love and support given from the Modesto community and from those across the nation.

Still after all of this time I often think of Chandra ( such a beautiful name) and the loss that I know her parents feel each and every day. I also have a daughter of the same age so that doubles my sorrows for those who loved and loss this very special child. I am in even deeper sorrow to think that this case has not been solved and my prayers will continue for closure for the family. God Bless and please know I care after all these years.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Levy, I wish that it could be possible to meet you in person, to tell you how much you have touched my heart with the story of young daughter. I still hope that the police are working hard to bring someone to justice for the cruel thing that was done to Chadra. You certainly haven't been forgot. Love to all.

PS Chadra is a beautiful woman and is making a beautiful angel in heaven right now.

I cannot begin to tell you how very sorry I am for your loss. It is such a senseless loss of a vibrant young lady just getting started in making her mark in this life. I know you were very proud of her and I cannot begin to imagine the devastation you must be going through, but know that she is in a blessed place watching over you all.

April Scoggins

Dear Mrs. And Mr. Levy,



I cannot begin to tell you how sorry that I am at the loss of your daughter, she was very beautiful, and obviously extremely intelligent as well... losing her is a travisty to us all.



My daughter Samantha will have been gone for five years as of June, 21st., she was six years old and passed from a blood infection that caused her to have a heart attack, she would have turned eleven on Febuary 7th, now, as is Chandra, she is with the Angels. I just want you to know that my love and prayers are with you and I pray that God will provide the answers that you seek regarding Chandra's death.



God bless you both, and all of your family. {{{{{Hugs to you}}}}}





Sincerely,



April Scoggins

Dear Dr Robert, Susan, and Adam Levy:



I have wanting to write you for some time, now and reading other heartfelt responses from around the country tells me there is , indeed, much goodness, about.



The loss of Chandra is without compare, devastating. No words can soothe you. And nothing can replace this loss



My God, Chandra could have been my daughter, right down to her beautiful wild and curly hair in her picture and a passion for life that leaps from her picture. You invested well in this child,and it shows. Chandra wished to make our crazy world a nicer place in which to live. I am certain Chandra looked for the good in all people.That comes from you all. Please don't loose that.



Evil persists in our world. We see this trajedy all too often, which hardly minimizes your deep loss.



Please, Please know that I do not pass a day in my life without somehow sometime thinking of Chandra. Of course, I did not know your Chandra but I felt as if I did know her, and know her well. What a proud, fine woman she was. As I said, she reminds me of my daughter who most recently passed the State Bar and is

" changing the world for the better" as a Public Defender in Southern California.



I wish to make a donation to your Wings of Protection in Chandra's memory.



I ask Why?. Why does this evil exist? How can we cut and remove these evils, which tear at the very core of our soul...



And, unfortunately, there is simply no answer for this "Why." It simply, "is." and always will be.



I just want to wish you strength and love, compassion, and understanding for this horror of loss in your lives, Our family stands with you.
