Hello Corey & Petra,
This past March 8th, you both came out to the CFL Fans Fight Cancer event, which was also Sheldon's 40th birthday celebration (’90s themed!). Your son absolutely loved my Michael Jackson shirt, lol.
That night, Corey, you took a picture with Sheldon's dad (my FIL), Ken Jones. He was so elated about this. All season, he had said he wanted the Riders to go to the Grey Cup in Winnipeg and for us to win the Cup on their turf.
On October 3rd, Ken sadly passed away from cancer—about 30 minutes before game time in Ottawa. We like to say he watched that game from the best seat in the house.
He mentioned that picture with Coach to anyone and everyone, and we truly believe that Ken—along with many CFL spirits up there—cheered you guys on to the championship.
We wanted to thank you, the Mace family, for taking this team and winning the Grey Cup for those who can’t be here on earth to enjoy it, like Ken. This has been an emotional time for our family and an emotional Grey Cup, as we know Ken’s wish came true.
Enjoy every moment of this off-season. đź’šđź’š
