’A Priest gave my wife Jan her last rites tonight. My little Angel is gone.’
The suddenness of the death makes this story even more heartbreaking with tributes and touching condolence messages pouring in from around the world for the much-beloved commentator.
The heart of the matter
However, this dark cloud has a silver lining. JR took to his twitter account once again on Saturday to announce that Jan was, in fact, an organ donor and that her lungs, liver and kidneys had already found recipients.
This indeed is an outstanding gesture and proves in the wake of a disaster, good can sometimes be found.
What’s next?
Jim Ross alluded to the fact that more good news is on the way, in his tweet, and this is truly fantastic. JR has also announced that he will honour his commitments in Orlando over Wrestlemania weekend and has actively encouraged people to see him.
Authors take
We keep JR and the wider Ross family in our thoughts and prayers at this time. However, some good has come of this tragedy with as many as 4 lives having been saved via Jan’s organs. Though this is of little immediate comfort to JR, I’m sure, at least there is some light to come from this awful tragedy. Rest in peace Jan Ross.
