Please Don’t Bury Me Down In That Cold Cold Ground

Here’s a touching little AP story called, “Widow Takes Husband’s Ashes to NFL Game“.

Thanks to some help from sympathetic donors, Kathleen Desrosiers attended Sunday’s game, bringing an urn with some of her late husband’s ashes, as well as his ring and two pictures of him. He had died in March of a brain tumor.

“I couldn’t take the tumor away. I couldn’t take the pain away. I couldn’t make him better. But I can do this,” Kathleen Desrosiers, 60, told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Nothing says compassion like dragging a jar full of a loved one’s ashes, through a crowd of beer swilling, face painted hunyaks, in order to let the man who is taking a dirt nap, see his beloved Steelers lose 29-22.
