I'm at a loss for words. I wasn't ready to lose my Uncle Ted. I don't think I could ever be ready. He was a part of my life since the day I was born. The best uncle any kid could ask for. You were another parent to us and respected you as so. I'm going to miss your smile. I know with all the challenges towards the end, it made those smiles less frequent. I take comfort knowing you're not in pain and are at peace. Aunt Deloris, we're here for you and your family no matter the need. We love you more than words can say. I'm sending all my love to help bring you comfort. My prayers are with you.
