Mrs. Edwards,
I am so sorry for your family's loss. I have known Caster for almost 20 years, through umpiring, coaching and parks/recreation. He was like a Pa-paw to so many of us in the softball community. He will be missed by all of us. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Pat, I just heard about Caster and I am shocked and so very sorry to hear about Caster. I have known him for the past 15 1/2 years since I started working at the Parks & Recreation Department and he was a very special friend to me. I loved him very much. I am very sorry that I will not be able to attend the service for him, but I am in Tulsa, Oklahoma with my husband at the Cancer Treatment Center getting help for his colon cancer. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Again I am so sorry to hear about your loss.
Love, Teresa
