Condolences to the Laettner family

[dukiejay]

Christian’s mother, Bonnie, passed away unexpectedly over the weekend. Many who remember his time at Duke remember her quite well, too.

The attached obituary is a pretty good read and brings back some vivid memories.

Oh good lord, I didn't hear this! Feel terrible for the family... those were parents who worked so hard for their kids, and Christian owes her so, so much. Heck, we all do, on a much more surface level. Thoughts to the whole family.

Sorry to hear about their loss. I pray God will continue to bless him and his family, help them with healing and provide great support as needed.

Hate to hear this. Mom in the neckbrace will always be entwined with my memories of the shot. Wishing the best for the Laettner family.

Current line only at 8.5. I pay attention to those because Vegas isn't Vegas by being bad at handicapping. Before seeing the line, I would have said Duke by 20.....but now I'm only going Duke by double the line
Duke 83
Indy 68

Hate to hear this. Mom in the neckbrace will always be entwined with my memories of the shot. Wishing the best for the Laettner family.

My sentiments exactly....as soon as I seen this thread, I pictured her in the crowd cheering with that neck brace on.....really sorry for their loss
