If you know our family, you know that we are big Penn State Football Fans. Joe Paterno is a legend, winning the most college games in History. As Rachael, Daniel & I watched that game, the kids were dressed in their PSU gear & were jumping up & down screaming & cheering as they won. They were so excited, they talked about it & prayed for Joe Pa that night.
Joe Paterno built his program with the statement "Success with Honor." He won 409 games & took the Nittany Lions to 37 bowl games & two National Championships. More than 250 of the players he coached went on to play in the NFL. His players had a 91% graduation rate.
As he grew sicker, we prayed for him & his family each night. As his cancer took hold, everyone knew it wouldn't be long until he passed. Today it was announced that he has moved on to eternal life with God.
When we got home from Church this morning, Boppa told us that Joe Paterno had passed. Rachael was very sad & Daniel wanted to put on his Penn State clothes. We said a prayer for his family & all those who love him. Rachael is wearing her PSU Cheer outfit & wanted to talk about his life. We wanted to share some pictures of our family, Boppa, Uncle Bob, Aunt Lynn, Uncle Bobby before PSU games. Our love for the Nittany Lions won't waver, as we are forever fans. Joe Pa will forever be in our hearts as we cheer his team on.
Penn State Cheerleader for Halloween. And her dream for college.
