W88PIGS88IE. Tributes to Garrett Uekman

[HogofWar]

Garrett's funeral was very emotional. When the balloons were released and the Hogs were called, I almost lost it. Father Fred and Steve Straessle did a great job! I was glad to see Garrett's life celebrated as more than a Razorback which he will always be.

Do not know if this was posted or not, but it was on ESPN.

RIP, Garrett. Woo Pig Sooie!

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- Mourners lifted their hands as though in prayer, then gave a "Woo Pig Sooie" cheer Monday as they said goodbye to Garrett Uekman, the 19-year-old Arkansas football player who died suddenly last week from an undiagnosed heart condition.

Many of the 1,200 people who packed Christ the King Catholic Church for Uekman's funeral Mass spilled onto the lawn afterward, holding red and white helium-filled balloons handed out at the end of the service. As the Razorback flag-bearing hearse prepared to take Uekman's wooden casket away for burial, the crowd released the balloons and chanted for the Hogs, much like what they do at home football games.

Think I recognize her from my trips back to the law school for stuff; that's horrible.

Damn, that sucks.

Hug your loved one folks.  We are not promised tomorrow.

Still saddened by this.
