Legendary basketball coach Kay Yow died from her long battle with breast cancer on Saturday. She was 66.
Through all of her trials she maintained a positive outlook. She battled the disease since 1987. It had spread to her liver and bone and you know it wasn’t pleasant.
It’s times like these that I think about my mother, Carol, who died while I was in college. The belief was she died of diabetic complications, as my mother was never one to want to seek medical care. She was found in the hallway by my sister at our childhood home.
Her apparent distaste for medical care was due to her earlier battle with breast cancer. Not many people know my mother also had this disease, which has a way of touching more people than you know.
So there will be a new WWE champion at No Mercy this weekend. There has been little news about what will happen, though you can expect Randy Orton and several other top stars being in some type of match. There even have been rumors of Chris Jericho’s return, including one report that he has already been re-signed by the organization.
