Mizzou Tiger fans lose a great friend...........

Very few of you know Sarah Becking. But at the same time, all of you know Sarah Becking. Sarah is renown for her photographs of Mizzou sporting events. The reason you don't see her is because you usually see things from this angle......





The photo below was taken by a friend of Sarah while she took the above photo.



Sarah Becking died July 8th at the age of 36 due to complications from cancer surgery. She has two young kids and a husband. That kind of thing hits a lot harder when you have kids of your own. Below is a link to her husband's blog entry.
