Life as we all know is about more than sports, Stag Basketball or just being a fan. CT POST columnist and sports writer Chris Elsberry's mother passed away and he has written his own heartfelt tribute and obituary of her life. Interesting and worth reading:
...And over the course of raising four kids, managing a house and having a pretty awesome side job of baking wedding cakes (and all other kinds of delicious desserts), Patricia Elsberry lived one hell of a life. And I mean lived. She traveled the world, was friends with some pretty famous people and spent 55 years married to the man of her dreams. Who could ask for more?....
...Recently, my sister came across an old piece of notebook paper that my mom had typed a short poem on almost 40 years ago. It read: "You asked me what I would do if left alone. I could draw, paint, sew. I could be an indulgent mother. I could join groups. I could finish the ironing. I could just survive."
Patricia Elsberry didn't just survive. She lived.

It is never easy to loose a loved one, especially a mother. Prayers and condolences for Chris Elsberry and his family.
