After being at the doctor all day yesterday and finally getting a diagnosis, dad was in the kitchen last night and collapsed. He was rushed to the hospital and his blood pressure and heart rate kept dropping. He had a seizure about 4:30 in the morning and was rushed into emergency surgery to put a temporary pacemaker in to control his heart, but he passed away on the operating table. We're devastated. He loved the Falcons and Auburn football. I miss him.

Just wanted to let you guys know. Even more so than my post last night, things like this put a silly football game into serious perspective.

I admire you for your strength. I know it took some courage to come on here to share this with fellow Falcon fans as yourself. Continue to keep pushing. My prayers go out to you and your family.
