This week my family and I spent many hours at the hospital with the Mara family, we were dealing with our own family tragedy. They are an incredibly strong family and Mrs. Mara should be proud of how loving her entire family is.

that Ann Mara had 4 sons, 7 daughters, 43 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren before she died!

Damn, that's not just a family, that's a small town of Maras! She had to be one hell of a woman to handle 11 kids! I read Rolle's Instagram post about this and he was 110% spot on
Prayers go out for Ann Mara
