SKOR.id - Jacqueline Towns hanya bertahan tiga minggu. Ibunda pebasket Karl-Anthony Towns itu akhirnya menyerah oleh virus corona (Covid-19) yang diidapnya sejak Maret.

Wanita 59 tahun itu tidak mampu mempertahankan paru-parunya dari amukan virus corona dan wafat akibat komplikasi. Berita dukacita itu datang Senin (13/4/2020).

Keluarga pemain klub NBA, Minnesota Timberwolves, itu menyampaikan pernyataan resmi melalui rilis yang dikeluarkan oleh klub.

"Keluarga Karl-Anthony Towns hancur berkeping-keping oleh kematian Jacqueline Towns karena komplikasi akibat Covid-19,” demikian isi rilis resmi dari Wolves.

“Dia telah berjuang melawan virus ini selama lebih dari sebulan namun akhirnya menyerah.”

Pada 25 Maret lalu, Towns mengungkapkan perjuangan ibunya melawan virus corona dalam sebuah video penuh emosi di Instagram.

Dengan wajah sedih, big man (center/power forward) 24 tahun itu mengumumkan bahwa ibunya terpaksa dibantu ventilator untuk bernapas usai diinduksi koma secara medis.

Towns mengatakan, ia berbagi video itu dengan harapan semua orang menanggapi dengan lebih serius pandemi yang berlangsung hingga saat ini itu.

Sebelum membagikan kondisi ibunya, Towns memberikan sumbangan 100 ribu dolar AS (sekira Rp1,6 miliar) ke Mayo Clinic untuk membantu memerangi virus corona.

Pihak Wolves mengatakan, Jacqueline sangat dicintai oleh seluruh anggota klub. Semangatnya untuk hidup dan keluarganya begitu menginspirasi.

"Sebagai penggemar nomor satu Karl, Jackie memberikan energi yang konstan dan positif untuknya," demikian pernyataan Wolves.

"Ia begitu dicintai di Target Center ketika datang untuk mendukung putranya dan Timberwolves."

Sejumlah pemain NBA pun mengirimkan ucapan belasungkawa untuk Towns lewat Twitter.

"Saya harap semua orang serius menangani wabah ini. Terus berdoa melalui masa sulit ini dan lindungi orang-orang terkasih Anda," tweet bintang Atlanta Hawks, Trae Young.

"Pikiran dan doa bersama Anda dan seluruh keluarga @KarlTowns," begitu pesan Chris Paul, point guard Oklahoma City Thunder.

 

Pihak keluarga mengatakan, Jacqueline memiliki banyak peran bagi banyak orang: seorang istri, ibu, anak perempuan, nenek, saudara perempuan, bibi, dan teman.

Jacqueline digambarkan sebagai sumber kekuatan yang luar biasa, penuh energi, berapi-api, peduli, dan punya cinta melimpah, yang menyentuh semua orang yang dia temui.

Terakhir, keluarga Tows mengucapkan terima kasih kepada seluruh staf medis yang merawat Jacqueline di Penn Presbyterian Medical Center dan JFK Medical Center.

Selain merawat Jacqueline, mereka juga yang membantu ayah Towns, Karl Towns Sr, pulih dari Covid-19.
