The Best of Legacy
Yesterday we had the privilege and honor of delivering some gifts to Jose's girlfriend, baby Penelope, and mother with some fellow baseball families.
Families all across the baseball community came together to raise money for Jose's girlfriend and child and with the money, we were able to purchase them a "Best of Legacy" book, which highlights his entire career in baseball - every article ever written about him - as well as words from those he left an impact on. This book - more like an heirloom - is probably 16x20 inches, hundreds of pages long, and several pounds heavy, and will hopefully give baby Penelope a peek into how treasured Jose was both on and off the field. With the rest of the money raised, we purchased most of the large items off Maria's registry and had money left over to put into a trust for Penelope. What a blessing these baseball families are and what a beautiful community we're surrounded by. Yesterday was such a special time for us and we're so grateful to have been apart of it. It breaks our hearts that we've been brought together as we have in the wake of such tragedy, but always, we praise God for bringing us together in the way only he can.
