Death is never easy. It's one of the hardest things a family member can go through, but it's also an opportunity to remember someone's contributions and celebrate their life.

Mary Saban Pasko was an avid sports fan, raised a great family and made it to the age of 92. No matter how you look at it, she led an incredibly successful life.

As sad and tough as the situation is, her life deserves to be celebrated and honored and not just mourned. I say that as someone who lost a grandparent in their 90s not that long ago.

Living that long is an accomplishment in and of itself.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Saban family during this tough time. Check back for any updates as we might have them, and let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
