Has anyone else heard about Pat?

[Escape Goat]

smh. All of this isn't fair. Praying for her.

 

[Escape Goat]

I haven't cried in years, hope I'm not breaking that streak tomorrow.

 

[dduncan4163]

Damn this isn't good at all. It reads like she has taken a turn for the worst.

 

[dduncan4163]

Hang in there CPS. We are all rooting for you.

 

[VOLumeS]

Best women's basketball coach ever VFL. Hang in there.

 

[RockyTopJewel]

Read that it was septic shock and they were just trying to jeep her comfortable at this point

 

[peyton4heisman]

Praying for a true hero, Pat Head Summitt! She is such an amazing person and as stated above, this is truly unfair.

 

[Titan&Volfan4life]

May God bless and comfort her, her family and her friends.

Best VFL Lady ever.

We all love you Pat.

VFL...GBO!!!

It did not matter who you were, Pat treated everyone she met like they were important. I used to work at a business she frequented, and she would give me a pocket schedule just before the season would start. Super classy lady. Praying all night.

That's awesome. Hope you kept it. I know I would have.

jeez what happened ? Is it the dementia disease or something else ? I cant believe this is happening

 

[TNnative]

Hope you don't mind that I ask for prayers for a dear friend close to the end of her journey. Would mean a lot to her fam, Peace be w/ you❤️

From Robin Roberts 6:06am Saturday

The way that is worded tells me, if she is talking about Pat, to prepare. May sound crazy, but I was really hoping she would somehow beat it. If she wasn't giving up, I was going to keep up hope.

 

[SeahawkVOL94]

Praying.
Go Lady Vols

 

[BigOrangeD]

I pray that you will be made well Pat.

 

[OrangeByBirth]

I had a class with Pat Head. The entire span of years since has done nothing to change her image. She IS Miss/Ms/Mrs Univ of Tennessee.

 

[gatorhater1509]

I teared up reading thru this thread. Praying.

 

[shodog]

Prayers with the family and for Coach. Any new updates?

 

[volwindy]

This is sad to read!

 

[TNnative]

Not much but it is the first actual news source reporting anything.

Report: Pat Summitt ?struggling? - WSMV Channel 4

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Read that it was septic shock and they were just trying to jeep her comfortable at this point

So sad, I hope she is at peace and not hurting.

True VFL.

The disease doesn't really kill you. It's usually something else. Septis, pneumonia, etc.

 

[JackBombero]

A true icon in the sports world. Not just women's basketball. Wishing the best for Coach Summitt.

Former Tennessee women’s basketball coach Pat Summitt ‘struggling’

The disease doesn't really kill you. It's usually something else. Septis, pneumonia, etc.

I understand your point, however, it is listed on the death certificate of my mother-in-law for a reason. When the brain ceases to be able to tell the body to even breathe, swallow, blink eyes, etc. despite a strong heart - the cause of death is dementia.
