It was more than just a Grey Cup for Mylan Hicks' mother.
After the shooting death of her son in September, Renee Hill stood in honour of the fallen Calgary Stampeders defensive back at the Grey Cup.
Remarkable scene here. That's Renee Hill, Mylan Hicks mom, leading a pregame #GreyCup huddle. He would have been in the middle of it. http://pic.twitter.com/Kz6wBfHWi2

Stampeders' Osagie Odiase took Renee by the arm and walked her through warmups.
Odiase and Hicks were roommates and friends in Calgary.

Hicks' mother had the support of the Stampeders, the entire country, and those closest to her.

It goes without saying that Hicks wanted to win a Grey Cup championship. His mother hopes to drink from the Grey Cup on Sunday since he cannot.
