My condolences go out to the entire Summitt family and a never ending appreciation for you all supporting your daughter, sister, wife and mother in her career.  We all know how much extra time and energy she gave us as players, coaches and others throughout the world. So, being a former player and now a coach,  I want to say thank you for allowing us to be an extension of your family and sharing that precious time and energy of Pat's with us. There's no doubt she rubbed off on us!

My COACH, My MENTOR and My FRIEND

1. Her VISION was huge for you.
2. Pat could ENERGIZE and MOTIVATE you to do anything. 
3. She BELIEVED in you.
4. She CARED so she did MORE for you and told you the TRUTH (which hurt sometimes).
5. She was a FIERCE COMPETITOR.
6. She wanted you to reach your GREATNESS and held you ACCOUNTABLE to that.
7. She was THANKFUL and taught you to pay it forward.
8. She was HUMBLE but CONFIDENT because she knew she would out-work you, and taught you to do the same.
9. She taught you to LOVE and take care of what you invested in, so you would keep growing! 
10. She changed the world and the game of basketball. 1 by 1,161 players, she changed our life.

Thank you, Pat, for trusting a little 5'4" kid from Cleveland, Tenn., to be a part of the Lady Vol family. We know we are chosen few.  Your legacy will continue to live through all of us! 

R.I.P. You are whole again.

I love you Coach!
