After a hard-fought battle with liver cancer, Hayley Robic – daughter of Kentucky basketball assistant coach John Robic – tragically lost her life Friday.
On Monday, the Robic family felt it was time to come forward and announce the news publicly.
“Last Friday, our family surrounded our big sister, firstborn, and best friend as she took her last breath,” Hayley’s sister, Sophie, said in a statement on Facebook. “Hayley, like in all things, battled her cancer with grace and dignity; she was fearless and brave and never caved to her diagnosis.
“It is an understatement to say that Hayley left this world better than she found it.
