"Her elegance and grace touched everyone around her, and we know her spirit will live on through her legacy of good works. We are grateful to have had her in our lives, and she will be deeply missed.” The Bronx Pinstripes community would like to send our condolences along with The New York Yankees to the Steinbrenner family.
