God bless her and the family.
I remember her getting angry with Geno because she felt he was being
mean to Svetlana...my sense is she loved all the players...uhh..Geno too.
May have the wrong game...but I think she sprinkled some holy water on the team as they
left the court at halftime of the 2000 championship game in Philly between UConn and
LadyVol....sure did no harm!

A huge part of Geno, of who he is, who he became just move to be with her God. A true believer. I'm sad for Geno, his siblings and his family a part of them is gone.

For most parents, your sense of self and the most prominent source of joy in your life is intimately linked to your children. I am sure that was true for Marsiella Auriemma. She would have been incredibly proud of her son today. RIP to a wonderful woman.

Definitely sad news, especially around the holidays. Sending much love to Geno and his family. Remember seeing his Mother in the stands for many games. Sincerest condolences.

I remember that too- "don't you yell at Svetlana, she's here all by herself" or words to that effect.
May she rest in peace and my sympathies to Coach Auriemma & his family

Too bad that ABC had a memorial for Brenda's family at halftime (I think it was her father, not sure), and didn't mention Geno's Mom. I'll give ABC the benefit of the doubt, that they didn't know Geno's Mom had passed, but still disappointed they didn't do their homework.
