Boston Saint

Sorry if this sounds selfish or narcissistic, but I need to say this to vent. Sadly, The Saints lost a great original fan today. My mother, born and raised in New Orleans, passed away today after a losing battle with non-viral pneumonia-like symptoms at the age of 85. She was a prototypical Louisiana lady of class and character who loved and rooted for the Black and Gold since day one. She was a pious, caring woman who cared for her family and was honestly the nicest person I’ve ever encountered in my life (and I can produce witnesses to back that up!).

Anyway, I am again sorry if this seems self-centered to post here. Maybe (hopefully) it’s the beginning of a long healing process for me. I just wanted/needed to let people know that Heaven gained a new Saints fan today and I thank God she got to see at least one SB Championship for her team.

Thanks All.

Edit: She repeated this poem by William Bryant on her hospital bed before passing. I’d like to pass it on

“So live, that when thy summons comes to join The innumerable caravan which moves
To that mysterious realm where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death, Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night,Scourged to his dungeon; but, sustain'd and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave,Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams."
