We have lost a great man of God! Papaw was a very loving, generous, caring, supportive man who will be greatly missed! He was such a wonderful grandfather that taught us grandchildren many valuable lessons that will stay in our hearts forever. Thank you to everyone for the thoughts and prayers!

What a loss this world has now, but what Heaven has gained! Mr. Easter was such a wonderful person, an inspiration to be around. He enjoyed not only watching Ashley play softball but her teammates as well. Franklin County Lightnin' has lost one of their biggest fans but we know that he will still be watching our games from Heaven, wearing that Lightnin cap that he was so proud of.

If you all need anything, please know that your Lightnin family is here for you.

Love
Craig, Stephanie, Lauren & Kayla
