RIP Lavoyda Lenard - Brian Urlacher's Mother
Urlacher attends to family emergency

Brian Urlacher rushed out of town Tuesday to attend to a family emergency in Arizona involving his mother, the Tribune has learned
Urlacher is expected to be away from the Bears for several days and his status for Sunday’s game against the Saints is unclear. Teammates, the coaching staff and members of the front office are aware of Urlacher’s situation but no further information was available Tuesday night.
The Bears took Monday and Tuesday off following Sunday’s 30-12 season-opening victory over the Falcons in which Urlacher scored a touchdown on a fumble return and intercepted a Matt Ryan pass. He also had 10 tackles.
Urlacher’s mom, Lavoyda, maintained a regular presence in the life of the man Lovie Smith referred to as the Bears’ “franchise player.’’ She raised Brian and younger brother Casey and older sister, Sheri, in Lovington, N.M. The family remained close as Urlacher’s career soared in Chicago. Lavoyda was living in Mount Pleasant, Texas, near the Louisiana border.

Prayers to Urlacher and his Family.

I hope that everything is okay with his mom and that he is able to be there with her.
At the same time I would be shocked if he was not at the game on Sunday to be with his team mates and looking for an emotional release.

Except that the story says that he left for a family emergency in ARIZONA involving his mother.

My condolences and thoughts go out to him and his family.
For as long as I have been a Bears fan Urlacher has almost been a super human entity in my eyes and he has represented this team like a true Bear. It hurts to know that he is going through so much pain and grief.
I hope he plays Sunday and I know we all wish that he will, but I understand if he does not choose to play.

Agreed we all get one mother in this world, so if time is what he needs I understand.
