GrubberRaven Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 http://blogs.baltimoreravens.com/?p=3039 I am very close with the family above, having taught/mentored/been a big brother to Matt and gone to school and been close friends/done theater with Trish and Barbara, whom the article was about. Barbara wasn't supposed to make it through the weekend and the win gave her a second wind. Just take a second and read and remember that some things are bigger than a game. Peace.
vmax Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Nice looking family and a cool story. Thanks Grubber.
OutsideRzAcE Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Nice read. I hope she gets to see the Ravens take down Manning as well.
83eh01 Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 It is touching I'm glad she got to enjoy this game with everybody
cravnravn Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Ahh when your time is up, your time is up..I lost my dad, tomorrow will be 1 year..I looked to him to carry us thru the AFCC Game in Pittsburgh, we know the result..Maybe him and Sock and having a beer together this year, and this will be the year.
dc. Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/columns/story?columnist=reilly_rick&id=4825585&sportCat=nfl Rick Reilly has picked up the story and it will be in ESPN the Magazine.
dc. Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 Sorry... didn't read your story. Just saw the name Matt and had read the Riley story, which is about a kid named Matt, and assumed they were the same. Whooops.
ForceEight Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 Who cares? They're both incredible stories.
dc. Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 No, you're right. I just didn't mean to link two stories that weren't the same.
GrubberRaven Posted January 14, 2010 Author Posted January 14, 2010 Oh it was a great story...both were. Thanks for the link DC.
GrubberRaven Posted January 15, 2010 Author Posted January 15, 2010 Barbara just lost her battle to cancer this morning. Sad news...hope the Ravens pull one out this weekend.
dc. Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Sorry to hear that, Grubber. May she rest in peace.
cravnravn Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Sorry for the loss Grubbs..1 day and year after my dad passed..One more glass of beer around the Ravens table, up there.
thundercleetz Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 I send my prayers and condolences to the family. I am happy the Ravens were able to give Barbara one last win. The other story is good as well. Hopefully Matthew can choose another first play TD. Hats off to Cam Cameron, I am sure what he is doing means a lot to Matt.
