Kathleen Derosier brought a special guest with her to the Steelers game yesterday-her late husband Richard,who succumbed to a brain tumor in March.According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette,the New Hampshire man was a lifelong Steelers fan,even naming his dog "Steeler" and thanks to the generousity of Amy Litterini,Mrs.Derosier was able to travel to Heinz Stadium with her husbands ashes,along with two of his rings and a photo of him.
Ms.Litterini was the Derosiers counselor during his battle with cancer and she raised money to purchase two tickets to the game and procure a hotel room in the 'burg for Mrs.Derosier and her son,who accompanied her.Her husband,who never got to see a Steelers game,asked her before his untimely death to do this for him if it was possible,and thanks to good people,it became possible!Even though the Steelers lost,Mrs. Derosier says she was "overwhelmed" by the whole experience and was grateful she could do this one last thing with her dear husband.
