Wording for a plaque

[Megobee]

Old field had an infield like talcum powder and outfield like a swamp.
photo of new field was taken before the grass was all in and before the scoreboard arrived in CF

So sorry for you loss, but to be honest, I agree with your wife. I think the quote followed by your daughters name and class of 2018 would be sufficient. If someone stops and reads that whole thing I feel the impact of that quote gets lost.

First off, I’m very sorry for your loss, can’t imagine, I’m sure every dad here feels the same way!

I obviously don’t know you, or your DD and wife, so I honestly am no help with what should be written on her plaque. Although I will say those words had to have meant something special to her!

I’m just happy for you and your wife they decided to honor your daughter by naming the field after her, obviously a huge testament to what a special young lady she was!

Hope her memory lives on forever!

Welcome back. I remember you sharing her story when she passed, and thoughts of her story came back to me a few times over the years. It makes my heart smile to see that her memory will live on. The message is nice and hopefully will resonate with others that need to hear it when they need to hear it. I would prefer to see it displayed somewhere on the outside of the field or walkway to the field so everyone can see it.

Megobee - I have to echo what AD said here, he put it beautifully.

That quote - “Strength doesn’t come from what you can do, it comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn’t.” is excellent and sounds like something from Seneca or Marcus Aurelius. Great words of wisdom that she obviously wanted to share.

That quote is powerful. My suggestion FWIW it to have that quote, and your daughter's name and years she played there, and leave it simple and understated.

Thank you all! To start, the plaques will be in the dugouts but will be moved to a central location where, thanks to you, they can be viewed by the public.
