Former Bears defensive tackle Tommie Harris has written a heartbreaking story on "The Players' Tribune" website about the death of his wife, Ashley, in February 2012 from a brain aneurysm.
In the article entitled "My Greatest Loss," Harris describes the unimaginable pain he suffered from Ashley's unexpected passing at age 29 and how her memory has inspired him to be the best parent possible to their two children, eight-year-old Tyson and five-year-old Tinsley.
"Through all of this, I have found strength that I never knew I had," Harris wrote in the piece.
