It remains to be seen whether Tom Brady's appeal of a four-game suspension is successful, but there's little doubt that he'll have the support of the New England Patriots faithful regardless.

Making it known that she stood by the Patriots' star quarterback amid the NFL's recent "Deflategate" investigation, one such devoted fan had her family share her claim of Brady's innocence upon passing away earlier this week at the age of 72.

A line near the end of Patricia Shong's obituary in the Worcester Telegram reads:

"She would also like us to set the record straight for her: Brady is innocent!!"
