Drew Brees' mother has passed

Sympathies to Drew and his family. I am sure there are reasons they were estranged. My wife's mother has a personality disorder, and it is for the best that they are estranged. Still Drew must be devastated.
As an aside, I googled Mina's obituary, and found this:

She is survived by her family including sons Reid and Drew as well as brother Marty Akins, a former University of Texas quarterback and the 2002 Democratic nominee for Texas Comptroller. Our thoughts are with them in this unexpected and difficult time.

Amazing how self-absorbed Texas is by trumpeting Marty's record as a UT quarterback and not even mentioning that Drew is a future hall of famer.
