Bill Cowher: "Kaye was the rock we could all lean on"
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on July 24, 2010 1:51 PM ET
The image is one NFL fans, especially in Pittsburgh, will never forget.
Bill Cowher, finally having climbed the mountain to Super Bowl champion, was embraced by his wife and three daughters at the moment he reached his career pinnacle.
The NFL world was saddened to learn Kaye Cowher, Bill's wife, passed away Friday at the age of 54 to skin cancer. Bill Cowher remembered Kaye in a statement released Saturday.
"Kaye was such a loving and compassionate person and she was the foundation of our family," Cowher said. "Kaye was always at my side throughout my career as a player, coach, NFL analyst and, most importantly, as a parent to our three daughters Meagan, Lauren and Lindsay. They will miss their mother dearly.
"Kaye was the rock that we could all lean on in the tough times. She was looked up to by so many people and I cannot say enough about what Kaye meant to our family. Her memory will never be forgotten. We would like to thank everyone who has kept our family in their thoughts and prayers and for those who have reached out to express their condolences. It is clear that Kaye touched a lot of lives."
Services are scheduled for Kaye Cowher Monday in North Carolina. The Cowher family asked that anyone interested in making a donation on Kaye's behalf be directed to Family Resources of Pennsylvania.
