Scrappy Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 I'm no fan of the Patriots at all but she was a very nice lady & did many good things for people, she'll be missed. RIP.

UConn James Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 RIP As an aside, just wondering what kind of arrangements are going to be made.... If the calling hours and funeral (assuming they're not family-only) are held before the CBA is lifted, what's the deal with the no-contact order between ownership/coaches and players? Is it not applicable here? If it does bar players from attending, that'd be pretty sad.
JoeF Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) Prayers and condolences... Kraft has been a constant voice of reason at the labor negotiating table while this was weighing heavily on him...he is truly in this for the good of the game. I just read some of the tweets from former players and read about the philanthropic work of Myra Kraft--she will be greatly missed. Dammit--I don't want any reason to like the Pats--but Myra Kraft, like the Bills Mary Wilson, appears to have been a great First Lady of Football. Edited July 20, 2011 by JoeF
boyst Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Never cared much for the Krafts until they became close with the Stern show, it was amazing how likeable they are; the son is pretty cool. RIP

MattM Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Go read the 2007 NYT interview with her. She sounded like a very good person who poured a lot of her energy and herself into serving others. Condolences to the Kraft family...,
