Myra Kraft has passed away

[TrueBeliever]

OMG!

I haven't been following football that much lately, but this completely caught me unawares. Had she been sick for a while? I didn't even know she had cancer.

RIP Myra....Didn't even know she was sick

Same here. They did a great job of keeping a public figure's troubles private.

Sad day.

Condolences to the Kraft family.

From what i know a loss of a great philanthropist and woman

One of our city's greatest daughters. She, like her dad, Jacob Hiatt was a great philanthropist. Robert married up, for sure. We were on the short list for the site for the new stadium because of her. Now there's a Walmart there.

Myra Kraft personified such genuine kindness and caring in the way she lead her life. A giant of a woman in so many ways. My deepest sympathies to the entire Kraft family. We are truly blessed to have this family so involved in the greater community.

I recommend the Globe obituary, which gives some great insight into her family background and lifelong commitment to philanthropy (dedicating time and sweat as well as dollars).

Myra Kraft, paragon of giving, dies - The Boston Globe

Heath Evans was asked what made Myra so special. He responded that she was "Strong but Tender-hearted/Proud but Humble/Bold but Soft-Spoken/ EXTREMELY BLESSED, BUT LIVED TO BE A BLESSING".

I want to live my life in such a way that someone says .. he was blessed, but lived to be a blessing to others. Praise God!

RIP Myra!!!

Truly a sad day, my condolences to the Kraft family and sad that Mr Kraft and family had to deal with the labor nonsense in the middle of such a time. Truly admire him for his efforts.

As with everyone else, very surprised and saddened by this news. Kudos to the press for the respect, and Bob for soldiering on. She was clearly a classy lady, and our favourite team will be the poorer for her passing.
