Maureen Nelson, wife of long time Blaine and Minnetonka football coach Dave Nelson, has self-published a book called "I Miss You Today" that honors the memory of her grandson who was a special needs child and died in 2019.
She discussed her many years as a coach's spouse with high school sports reporter David La Vaque and then gets into the inspiration for the book in the lessons it offers readers.
