Your family will always hold a place in my heart. I was a teacher's aide at Little Praisers between my college summers when I met your loving family. Owen, in his own right, was one of my favorites. Stubbornly passionate about his beliefs. I loved this about him! He constantly challenged a ruling when we would play baseball because I knew so little, and he was sincere and wise from a young age about sports. I will never forget his passion; he taught me so much. A highlight moment was when I turned to him to teach the younger kids in after-school care how to play baseball. Witnessing his joy in baseball was such a privilege. I will be carrying those memories with me for years to come. Please take care of yourselves. -Miss Maggie

My heart breaks for you. As a parent I can´t imagine how, what, why, etc. Alex started baseball in Huntertown & that´s where his friendship with Owen began. It seems like yesterday at times. There are no words. I´m sending you prayers for healing, strength, hugs, comfort & peace.
