My 100 year old mother passed away this week. She was a big fan of Clemson after sending two children there from east TN. Our driveway had a tiger paw, the bottom of our pool had a tiger paw, another was on the basketball backboard and two were painted on the ground leading to the back door. Big football fan and loved Dabo and everything he stands for. Welcome to heaven JoAnn, I'll miss you greatly.

department. My condolences on your loss, you only have your mom for one life, and it hurts when you lose her, no matter how long you had her. Prayers up for you and your family.
We lost my Ma-in-law in January, ten days short of age 98. But unfortunately, her mind had exited Stage Left over a year and a half earlier. Dealing with Alzheimers for just that limited amount of time literally aged me and my wife about ten years, I think. It really was a near blessing when Ma finally closed her eyes, peacefully in a hospital bed in her own home under limited Hospice care. She too was a big Clemson fan, hopefully she and your mom meet up and get front row cloud seats to cheer on the Tigers starting Monday night!

I’ll hug her neck for you and keep your spot warm right next to her!!!
Sorry for your loss, but am ecstatic about her graduation . . . Most of us are where you are, we just didn’t get to love ours quite as long.
Thinking of you warmly as I type . . . Go TIGERS!!!

I am so sorry for your loss. How lucky you were to have your mother for so long.
I still have my mother and father, in their 90s (and huge Clemson fans). I hope they keep chugging along for years. I am in my late 60s and feel too young to be orphaned.

Sorry for your loss, but I know from your description that she was a great woman and a great Tiger fan. I'm sure she'll have a front row seat on the 50 yd line in Heaven. Go Tigers, and God bless your family.

She was probably one of the oldest living tiger fans.

I wonder how many centennial tiger fans there are.
My mother is 91 in the Columbia and gets pretty feisty about the local news obsession with the coots.
God bless your mother.
