Hi I am Jackie's daughter Lucy. I was 1 at the time of his passing so I don't remember him well. My sister Aubrey who was born in 2011 and I both play softball. I know that my mom would give anything to let him see me and my sister play softball. And I would too. He sounded like a great man and I would give anything to meet him and show him the cool pitches I can throw. I miss you pawpaw eder and so does my mom. Love always, Lucy
