That is terrible news. She was certainly the most loyal fan. I remember seeing her at every game.

I feel very sorry for the Rapids community for their loss. A loyal fan is hard to find, especially one that has been with them for so long.

That my boy is an outstanding idea! That is what MN hockey is all about and how arenas become our secondary place of sanctuary.
Don't drop the puck on this one GR. It would be befitting for a great community to honor one of their top fans!
