...died yesterday after a 12-year bout with breast cancer - only 42 years on this earth..
She was wife of Chris Spielman, former Ohio State and NFL Linebacker, current ESPN broadcaster.
The Spielmans raised $6 million for breast cancer research.
Her husband took a year off from NFL after her first being diagnosed (it was a miscarraige that led to discovery) to take care of her and their children.
When she lost her hair because of treatments, her husband shaved his head to show his love and support for her, and raise awareness of this disease.
Besides prayers for the Spielman family - us tough guy coaches need to make sure we spend enough time with and love the ones that matter most while we can.
