Edgerrin James' longtime girlfriend passes away from leukemia

Very, very sad:

The girlfriend of former Immokalee star football player Edgerrin James and mother of his four children died of leukemia on Tuesday.

Andia Denise Wilson, 30, of Naples died at the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa after battling acute myeloid leukemia. James, who plays for the NFL's Arizona Cardinals, is listed as Wilson's "loving spouse and significant other'' in an obituary notice. James and Wilson had four children: Edquisha, 11, Ehyanna, 7, Edgerrin Jr., 4, and Euro, 2. Wilson also is survived by her parents, Jodi Wilson and Larry Green, and grandmother, Viola Fuller.

Though Edge still plays for the Arizona Cardinals, he will always be a Colt. We Colts fans send our thoughts and condolences to Edgerrin and his family.

From the article:

In lieu of flowers, expressions of sympathy may be made to Avow Hospice, 1095 Whippoorwill Lane, Naples, 34105.

Also, you could donate to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

Yikes

30… holy crap.

That’s gotta be difficult for a guy (obviously the kids are crushed). I could see him really wanting to play for the Dolphins for a couple years to be near his kids. Problem is, I don’t think Miami or Tampa could use him.

(Please not the Jags, please not the Jags…..)

I hate Joe Namath. That's how long I've been a Colts fan.

That is really tough!!

I would say that loosing a loved one like that is a total kick in the gut. I truely feel for Edge and his kids. God bless them in this tough time.
