After a long battle with Cancer sadly we lost my wife Lisa yesterday. She recently asked me โ€œIf I ever get to interview Jaylen Brown please tell him heโ€™s an amazing player and a special person.โ€ Thanks to a few special friends we received this message a few weeks ago! Thanks JB!

Before my wife Lisa passed away we planted a small tree for her. After she passed in July we sprinkled some of her ashes around the roots. On Sunday I noticed the tree survived the winter and while the entire lawn was dormant there was a green circle around the tree! #faith
