I had a few different coaches throughout junior high & high school , and he was the only one who saw the value and talent that I added to our team. Junior high Londa didn’t see it, but he did. I appreciated that so much. I am so sorry for your family’s loss. Please know you are loved and being covered in prayer. ❤️ less
