For Tennessee Icon "Pat Summitt"... Her Road Ahead Will Be "Rocky"...But She Will Always Be On "Top"!

By now you all know I'm a huge Tennessee Volunteer Fan! I know and respect the fact that all of us have our favorite teams.

Recently The Famed Tennessee Women's Basketball Coach "Pat Summitt" was diagnosed with "early onset Dementia...Alzheimer's type". I just wanted to take a moment and ask that your prayers be with all of those who have this terrible disease.. It's not that it's more important because she has it...it's the fact that she has it that it brings more attention and sympathy to all who are afflicted by it!

So no matter who your allegiance is to, PLEASE take a moment and pray for all those around us who suffer from this crippling disease!

Good post, Rob. Many of us have friends, family members and neighbors that are experiencing dementia.

I am not getting the photograph in your blog. I did see pictures in the newspaper.
