Kay Yow is dead at age 66


She died of cancer while on leave from her post as women's basketball coach at N.C. State University. She had long battled breast cancer.

She had missed the last several games this year, but I know everyone who knew her was hoping that she would bounce back again, as she had in the past.

She was a courageous woman and a great role model for young people. My sympathy and prayers go out to all who knew and admired her.
