My mother died yesterday and she was one of the biggest Chiefs and Royals fans I have know. She had season tickets for over 20 years while she lived in KC until she retired and moved to Joplin 20 years ago. She was even at the Chiefs SB IV win way back when. She made my dad buy the season tickets every year. They used to ride the bus that left from NKC. I have now inherited all her Chiefs memorabilia including a full sized Chiefs helmet lamp. She once told Blanda he was an old bum after they came to Arrowhead once and he came in when we put the snake out and won the game for them of course she did realize who she was talking to until someone at the table told her they were all from the Raiders and that was old George setting there. I will miss her a lot, the only good thing is she went from being fine to in a comma in about an hour.
