Dear Gammon and Wade Family: Giving Honor to God, giving Him all the Praise for giving us Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior that we may have a path to His kingdom and have eternal life. Our family is saddened to hear the news concerning your Brother, Dad, Husband and Nephew Theodore (Ted) Gammon.
As family we share and understand some of the pain and grief that confront you today, but only the immediate families understands the pain you endure now and for a lifetime. We know the space Ted shared in your heart and mind will never be fill, but through the sharing of your time with family and friends reminiscing the special moments and interactions you had will soften some of the pain.
On returned trips home his graceful smile and laughter always warmed my heart knowing he enjoyed the presents of friends and their companionship. Ted’s presents in the Wades home brought back memories of my experience growing up in the community and around his family home. One of my enriched moments was listening and seeing the compassion in his eyes as he spoke of his love and affection for family. I know he was expressing the same warmth and affection he experience as a young man. As witness by family, friends and others, you will take this moment in your life to God and He will take you through these times. We know God will give you and the family the comfort you require. "Remember God will not give us more than we can bear", If He will take us to it, he will take us through it. God has a purpose for Ted beyond our knowledge and comprehension; he has passed into sleep, a journey for all mankind and a step closer to God.
I send you a passage that give me such strength in my time of need and found in 1st Thessalonians, 4 chapters, vs. 13-18.
13] But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
[14] For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
[15] For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
[16] For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
[17] Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
[18] Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
May God bless your family to overcome this sorrow and hold you in his arms and comfort your pain. I pray the family find peace and always remember the joy Ted brought into your life and those around him.
On behalf of the Moore family and friends worldwide, our deepest sympathy goes out to you and the family.
“Ted’s presents will truly be missed in this community, but not forgotten.”
