ALLENDALE, Mich. â Students at Grand Valley State University are grieving the loss of a fellow Laker. A candlelight vigil was held on campus near the clock tower to honor the life of Taylor DeRosa.
DeRosa s body was discovered December 12 by someone jogging in the area. The investigation into her death is ongoing with police releasing few details about what happened to the freshman from Royal Oak.
Hundreds of students, both those who knew DeRosa and those who did not, came out to pay respects to the young woman, who was considered a fierce advocate for issues she felt passionate about. She also set out to help others she met, even serving as a camp counselor for several years.
