Old SW Roanoke

At last Friday night's football game something unusual and sad happened. A fan in the stands suffered a heart attack and passed away during the game. Today I am thankful for the community I live in and am thankful that my boys are being coached by Coach Harless and learning values and life lessons from him. HERE'S a news clip of the story and how Coach and the team reacted ...Rest in Peace Mr. B

Linking up with Michelle's Thankful Thursday

  1. Hello, wow that is very sad. I guess it is a reminder we must all live each day like it could be our last. Prayers for the deceased and his family. Happy Thursday, enjoy your day.

  4. One can only feel sorrow for his family. Life is so fragile and everything can change in a matter of seconds. I think I'm going to try to enjoy every minute of this day!

  7. Oh, how terribly sad! The steeple is blue! From the sun shining on it, or is that the true color?

  8. So sad Tanya but at least he was where he wanted to be. We all should be out there enjoying life and everything it offers. A reminder that we shouldn't take life for granted. What a wonderful thing the coach did taking the players to let them pay their respects.

  11. A sweet and touching story Tanya. The coach and players, what an amazing kindness, to acknowledge Mr. B’s support of their team for so many years, and in turn to do that for his family.

  12. How awesome to see a bit of the good part of people. That team were all raised by fantastic parents. What a moment to be proud of those young men.

  13. That was an interesting story. I am a sports fan, and I have often observed that a well-coached team teaches the players much about how to live life. Discipline. Cooperating. Sharing. Complimenting the opponents. Thanking the fans. And so many more admirable traits.
