Sad news
It is with a sad and heavy heart that we inform you of the passing of a former student Laterrika Freeman.
Laterrika was a 14-year old, healthy, student-athlete who played basketball, was an honor student, and played the saxophone in the Tapp MS Band. She was member of the 6th-8th Grade McEachern Indians Basketball Team as well a member of Peak Performance AAU Team. She had aspirations of one day playing in the WNBA where she would be a dominating point guard– she was the total package: smart, respectful, beautiful, but most of all, a humble and God-fearing spirit. Anyone who met her would easily fall in love with her beautiful smile and gravitate to her outgoing personality.
Shortly, after graduating from Tapp Middle School’s 8th grade, she visited the new water park at Six Flags back at the end of May–she was actually there the day it opened. She started feeling sick the night she came home. Upset stomach, sore throat and a bad cough. She went from Kennestone, to Scottish Rite to Emory hospitals. These past few weeks her lungs had gotten worse with some type of bacterial infection. She was put on a breathing machine in the in the hospital and this past Thursday, July 17, 2014 a blood clot formed that the machine did not catch. She was without oxygen for 7 minutes. Her blood pressure progressively dropped and once she was removed from the machine she passed.
