Pretty shocking and sad story:

SOUTH SALT LAKE -- The mother-in-law of Utah Jazz owner Greg Miller was found dead with "obvious" stab wounds at a business in South Salt Lake Tuesday afternoon.

"It was an obvious stabbing and she is deceased," said South Salt Lake police detective Gary Keller.

Keller said 64-year-old Sherry Black's husband Earl went into B & W Billiards and Book at 3466 S. 700 East about 1:43 p.m. and found her deceased.

"The husband discovered her," said Keller. "It's a residence with a business next door, and he walked into the business and discovered her body."

Miller and his wife were at the scene Tuesday afternoon. In a statement, Miller said, "Today, our family suffered an unimaginable loss. My mother-in-law, Sherry Black, was taken from us in a senseless act of violence."

He continued, "My wife, Heidi, and I ask that you please keep our father, Earl, as well as the entire Black family in your thoughts and prayers during this extremely difficult time.

Neighbors say Sherry Black and her husband own B & W Billiards and Books. They say Sherry ran the book portion of the store and Earl made custom knives and billiard tables.

Neighbor Mary Wade described Sherry Black as quiet, a book lover, and she wonders why anyone would want to harm her.

"Their house is always quiet," she said. "They seemed to be liked by everybody."

Wade says she recently told Earl Black he was the best neighbor a person could ask for.

It was not immediately known if the business was open or if anyone else was present at the time of the stabbing. The South Salt Lake Police Department is the investigating agency in the case.

Wow. That's... unimaginably horrible.

The silver lining is that she had lived longer than a lot of people do that die from health problems. I guess. A stretch, I know.

OMG this is horrible... My sincerest condolences go out to Miller and his in-law's families. But, wow, the husband made knives? It's terrible to put 2 and 2 together here but I wonder if he made the knife that some lunatic used on her... That's gotta be a tough pill to swallow if that was the case.
 
Sounds like a case of old man losing his mind and killing his wife. If robbery was not the motive than what? Regardless terrible ending to a long life lived.
 
Awful. Makes you remember that some things are more important than basketball.

You are an Idiot for even suggesting something messed up like that.
