DaBearsBlog would like to offer our condolences to Brian Urlacher on the loss of his mother, Lavoyda, at the startling age of fifty-one.  Lavoyda had Brian at the age of sixteen, worked her ass off for him and he’s greatly credited her for his enormous success.

While we certainly hope Brian will be there patrolling the middle of the field Sunday in New Orleans, we hope he’ll take whatever time necessary for his family.
