She and her boyfriend were going to celebrate their fifth anniversary of dating by going to a Pittsburgh Penguins game. The morning of the game, Eckert, 43, of New Kensington was outside shoveling snow. When she came back inside, she complained to her boyfriend, Brian Cerniawski, that she had heartburn.
