Jerome and Jude love sports for everything they bring—knowledge of the game, physical strength, and the guidance from coaches and mentors. They thrive on competition, teamwork, and the friendships that last beyond the field. Through wins and losses, they’ve learned respect, loyalty, and how to grow from mistakes. From travel adventures to shared celebrations, it’s the sense of community that keeps them coming back.
Jerome and Jude are most inspired by their Papa J and Papa. Though they never met them, their presence is felt every day. As guardian angels, they quietly guide the boys through life. Through our stories, their legacy lives on—full of strength, love, and loyalty. That unseen influence continues to shape who Jerome and Jude are becoming.
As parents, it’s hard to pick the proudest moment. From the time they were 3 and made their first catch to hitting their first home runs, every moment has been special. But what stands out most so far is Jerome making his high school team and Jude hitting a home run in Cooperstown, NY. Milestones like these are unforgettable—and we’ll cherish them forever.
