102 years old. Wow. Prayers for her family.

I’m sorry for the family’s loss, but sounds like she was 101.  That’s a full life.

RIP 🙏

While no one is celebrating a death, Bears fans have been waiting for this. One step closer to pushing out the McCaskeys.

Yeah, Bears Reddit is almost at Chiefs Kingdom level appalling right now.

RIP. 

 

What a great life to live; 102 years.

 

For the football side - the NFL is better with a good Bears team.

Ha, I wouldnt go that far. They just arent all tears and woe. More so hoping this will allow the kids to sell, like I thought.

They have definitely ruined several of my Sunday, Monday and Thursday nights in my life with terrible games

11 kids. 23 grand kids. 40 some grandkids. Bears gonna sell?

She had a long life for sure!  I once had a Great Uncle live to be 104....it was definitely a history lesson when I interviewed my Great Uncle Ed. Thoughts and prayers for her family! R.I.P. Virginia

Trumaine Edmunds takes casualties. It's reported that this woman passed after being reminded of the contract that the young Edmunds, 19 years old, signed with the Bears.

The issue becomes tied to the family’s ability to handle the estate related transition, inclusive of the tax burden. Numerous accountants and lawyers will get, or have already, gotten wealthy figuring this aspect of the transition out.

They've had literally 100 years to plan for this and have been millionaires the whole time. I'm sure they have some sort of plan in place.

 

Word is the kids have wanted to sell for a while but Virginia was stopping them.

I guess she only owned 20 percent of the team and the kids and kids and grandkids own the rest along with a local businessman owner a small percentage.
