Man, cancer is vicious when it wants to be. Kay Yow was a helluva fighter, someone I am glad is part of the NCSU family.

1/24/2009 9:07:28 AM

My sincerest condolences go out to her family and the NCSU women's b-ball team. I knew she'd gone to the hospital but honestly it's a shock that the situation went south so quickly.

There are few people associated with NCSU that are better representatives of the university, conference, and humans in general.

Rest In Peace.

Kay Yow was an inspiration for people everywhere. She gave everything she could to NCSU and womens athletics in general. I hope State holds some sort of memorial that we can all attend.

She had such a good heart and was always a joy to be around. She never thought of herself as a celebrity.

most of the time thats how it is. people i have lost to cancer would be stable for a while, then all of a sudden they'd go downhill really fast and it'd be the end.
