Some thoughts as we enter the season of remembrance. Read it in full here. I have come to appreciate that memory lives in a separate space and at times Mack and I share a moment. Often I laugh out loud and “re-member” Mack’s great laugh and feel his warm spirit […]

Día De Muertos: Eat, Speak, and Remember

Update: I had no idea this ran on the cover of the Collegian! Thank you again to the editorial board for covering the Mack Match and to David for writing the story. What a wonderful remembrance. Thank you. Penn State Collegian staff writer David Pollak did a very nice piece […]

Collegian: “Mack Brady lives on through Penn State men’s soccer”

An essay from Elizabeth recently posted on OpenToHope.com. It has been six and a half years since our son, Mack, died suddenly on New Year’s Eve 2012, just shy of his ninth birthday. As the many of us who learn to live newly after loss, we take it on as […]

A Funeral, A Wedding, Graduations And One Unwanted Guest

On the morning of February 12, 2019 England’s greatest goalkeeper died. Gordon Banks was the winning keeper in Englands 1966 World Cup victory and had “The Greatest Ever Save” four years later against Pelé. He was the hero of many children, even an Irish lad from the north. I met […]

Gordon Banks (and Mack) Remembered

Thank you all for the wonderful clinic! We had over 120 kids in attendance, the Penn State Coaches and players were AWESOME (as always), and it was a wonderful celebration of Mack’s life and the sport he loved! Happy 15th Birthday Mack! 🍀

I hardly remember any details from those days after Mack died. The world continued to move, a new year had come in, yet everything had changed for us. Suddenly we had to cope with all sorts of things parents never imagine they need to deal with. My brother came to […]

One week to the 6th Annual Mack Brady Match!

We did not know Coach Bahr, not really. In fact, when he first came into our lives, we didn’t know him at all. We were at the funeral home for the Mack’s viewing. Glenn, the funeral home director, came forward and asked if we minded if “Coach Bahr” could come […]
