DEL.ICIO.USFamily time in Athens
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
This has been a difficult week for my family, with the sudden death of my 82-year-old Mom and the need to make arrangements for the care of my 85-year-old Dad. So I’ve been in Athens most of the week with my brothers. This isn’t the place to memorialize my mother, but I do want to thank the many friends who came to the service or have sent notes or e-mails. It means a lot to us.
I will add one post-script: You know you’re a Bulldog family through and through (and that you’re in Athens) when discussion of the future plans of Stafford and Moreno even crops up during visitation at the funeral home.
I’ll be back to talking football soon. Until then, remember to hold your loved ones close to you. There’s nothing like family.

Dear Bill, My sincere condolences for the lost of your Mother. My Mother is always looking for a bridge partner. I’ll tell her to look your Mother up. For real: God bless you and your family.

So sorry to hear about your loss. You’re family will definitely be in my prayers. I lost my cousin a couple of yrs. ago & he was one of my best friends, & it still hurts bad sometimes. Things will get better though…she’s in a better place.

Sorry for you loss Bill, it was devastating when I lost my mother. My grandmother, the last of the grandparents, is now 92 and the family will come together with her to celebrate Thanksgiving at her house on Friday. We divide up the cooking and she does nothing but bask in the love of her son, her grandchildren and her great-grandchildren. I bought the house next to her ten years ago and moved in so she could stay in hers as long as possible. I too believe in keeping your family close. God bless you and your family.
