You've heard of Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen, right?

I give you Tunch and Sharon Ilkin this morning.

The star quarterback doesn't always get the gorgeous woman.

"I never once took our marriage for granted because I knew how special she was and how special we had it," Tunch Ilkin was saying this week at his Upper St. Clair home, still trying to figure out, all these years later, how he -- "a big, dumb, ugly offensive lineman" -- ended up with the pretty cheerleader.

"I'm so thankful for her. Sharon was the best. She loved deeply and she was so easy to love. She was just an amazing person to share life with. She loved Jesus. She loved people. She loved life."

It was that way for Sharon Ilkin until her final day. She died Feb. 6 after a long, brutal battle with cancer. She was 55.

Having lost my Dad to cancer, I can really understand everything that Tunch and his family is going through. My thoughts and prayers go out to them.
