A bright light has left the world. Aretha Franklin, the “Queen of Soul,” has died. On June 5, 1992, she became an Honorary Member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. In addition to her many Grammy Awards, she also received the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Condolences to all who knew and loved her and to those who never met her but she was a part of their lives.
