So sorry to hear about your loss. Our prayers are with you and your family at this very difficult time. I wish I could be there for the services but I am in Kansas chasing Toto. Lori will be there for us.
Your mom is in a much better place, and will be in your heart forever. Wishing you and your family all the best at a difficult time.
Teds baseball brothers will be meeting at 6:00 pm tonight in the Newcomer Cannon parking lot to to pay our respects and show our love and support. Anyone who wishes to join us will be welcome!
To everyone within the inredible reach that CDMSBL has as well as the uniting factor the game of baseball always unites us in ways we can never imagine....When the guys showed up at the funeral home as well as Lori Ralph and Sue I think i counted a total of 20 i was stunned and overwhelmed with the fact everyone who has better things to do took time out of their schedule and showed up. I was very appreciative i have been blessed with the greatest friends on earth the guys i get such little time to hang out with at the cooler let alone play ball it was just incredible...The loss of my mom aside this was what caught me and stunned me...
I want to thank everyone across CDMSBL, players from twilight to little league who came out,called, texted or wrote to me... Its impossible to describe when you have this length in this league when something happens its like a band of brothers along with the wives girlfriends etc who make things make sense. Its all about family and thre isnt a greater family than CDMSBL
thanks again to everyone and may God richly bless you and you families tp5
