Re: An update on Coach Pat Summitt..

@Suziepeach - I'm so sad for you. She is an amazing, trailblazing woman. What she did with her "girls" she did with power and grace. She pushed them to greatness. Her son is continuing her legacy.

Re: An update on Coach Pat Summitt..

Our prayers are with her and her family.  It's heart breaking because she is so young, but it does show that it happens to anyone at anytime. 

 

She was/is an awesome coach, friend, mentor and woman.  She loved her "job" and every single girl she ever coached.  I believe they felt/feel the same.  That is a sign of a great person. 

Fate whispers to her, "You cannot withstand the storm." She whispers back, "I am the storm."

@Preds  @Suziepeach   ... many of her former players managed to see her this past weekend before the family stopped visitors.   It was so heart- wrenching

We've been keeping up with everything, or trying too, via tweets and Tennessee websites.  Candace Parker had finished a game and immediately flew to Knoxville.  So sad, so sad.

I met her when I lived in Knoxville in the late 90's. She's a remarkable lady.

I have to say I was shocked to hear that her health had declined so rapidly. Sad news.

I am one of many of Pat's Chi Omega sorority sisters praying for her and her family.  She has always been a wonderful example of our "Symphony".
