Frank Gore's Mom has passed away... (1 Viewer)

Our deepest condolences go out to Frank Gore, whose mother, Liz, passed away yesterday. Liz has been battling kidney disease. She has been on dialysis since Gore was a junior in high school.

Gore was at the 49ers' practice facility this morning, but he left to spend time with some family members who were visiting him. Liz passed away yesterday at around 5 p.m., Pacific time, 49ers coach Mike Nolan said.

"He's in town at his place," Nolan said. "He has some family with him who were here prior to finding out about his mother's passing."

Gore was extremely close to his mother, who raised three kids as a single mother in the rough Coconut Grove section of Miami.

"Frank saw his mom a couple weeks ago," Nolan said. "It was important that he saw her at that time. He felt if he didn't get a chance to see his mother before the season that he may not get a chance to see her again.

"I think that Frank feels that his mother would want him to do his job. Frank knows that. I think that's where he'll put his attention when it comes to Sunday's game. I'm sure it's hard for him to get focused with what happened."

Gore plans to play Sunday in St. Louis. Then, he is expected to travel to Miami for his mother's memorial service.

Cards and letters can be sent to Gore c/o the 49ers Public Relations Dept., 4949 Centennial Boulevard, Santa Clara, CA 95054.

Sad story. I remember the profile on him and his Mom during his days at U of Miami. The woman's life was a long struggle, and I had hoped that she would have a few more years to reap the good life that her son could afford to provide.

She got to see him become one of the best backs in FB and passed knowing he has years of good seasons ahead of him. Plus her care the last few years had to have greatly improved with Gore's finances. If there's any positives to her passing, it's knowing she passed with the ease that escaped her while raising him. Not a fan of Gore or the Niners but sad to hear it when people's jobs keep them away from the passing of their family members.
 
Its times like this when you wish money could buy anything. You just know he'd give every dime he has to get her back. At least he got to see her and let her know how he feels about her and knew she was proud of him.

RIP Mrs. Gore

I hope this doesn't break his spirit. I dont own him in any league but I admire the way the Kid works.

Granted it is never a joyful time when anyone dies, but by posting RIP, God bless, etc. - do people really think Gore will be reading these well wishes?

Most people are reading this thread for one reason; they have Gore as a FF RB and are wondering how it will affect their matchup. Plain and simple. :goodposting:

Some sites may take threads like this with well wishes and what not and forward them to the concerning parties. Also, who knows, maybe the guy does browse here dealing with fantasy football. I am sure seeing something like this in the future, be it a slight chance, could make him feel a bit better.

These things can go either way. Favre played the game of his life, Tiger missed the cut at the US Open. You never can tell, although it sounds like he was already "at peace" with what was happening and he knew it was just a matter of time. Still doesn't make it easy.
 
I suspect that whatever happens this weekend Frank Gore will never consider this a "huge week".

I pray that Frank and his family will carry on with the knowledge that his mother is truely resting in peace.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Favre loose his dad? It's different losing a mom than a dad. With a dad you remember all the fun times and especially the times where your father extols your sense of manhood to push you harder in all things in life. When I think about my dad I remember fondly all the things (good and bad) that my dad did to toughen me up and get me ready to meet the world. I could see why Favre blew up in that game after his father died. He basically said that's what his dad would have wanted him to. I could put myself in this situation and see the same thing with my dad.

BUT NOT MY MOM

When I think of my Mom I would think of all the tender moments and unconditional love she had for me. If I lost my dad I would want to go play and rip it up, but if I lost my Mom I would be way too bummed out to play or do anything. And I love both the same.

I remember when my grandparents died. When my Grand dad died there was some sadness by my dad and his sisters, but there was also a lot of reliving great memories and celebrating his life. It was totally different with my Grandmother. They were crushed, and just wanted to sit around and mope.

I don't know...maybe that's just me. But it's definately something to consider.

I would monitor this situation intensely right up until gametime
