I know this is late. I am so very sorry for your loss. Ted was a wonderful person. I never knew him well, he was always kind and caring. We went to school together (he was a senior when I started 7th grade). My thoughts and well wishes are with you. I am so terribly sorry.

Not a day has passed since you left that i don't hear one of your "sayings" in my head or hear a song on the radio that you would make up your own words to!. Thanks Teddie for leaving such a imprint in my life!.

Danielle and Family,
At the present time I'm sure anything said to you is hard for you to understand why
life can be so very painful.I can't find the words to express how very sorry I am for
your loss.Danielle, during the short time I have known Ted and yourself, I could
instantly see the love you have for each other. I remember the first time I met you
at your apartment that you shared with your sister.It wasn't long after my son
Nicholas was telling me about this really nice guy you started seeing and when
I met Ted I could see what a great person he was. I could see he was full of fun and
also how much he loved you.I also want to thank both Ted and yourself for always
inviting me to every get together you had at your home in North Collins. You both
made me feel very special knowing that I had somewhere to go during a Holiday or
special occassion. It takes very special people to think about others like you did.
Ted, I know you can read this and I want to let you know how you impacted many people
including my sons life in many ways. I could see how my son Nicholas looked up to you
and enjoyed being at your home with all the fun things you arranged and put together
for everyone. It takes someone with a big heart to do all that you did for those you
love. Danielle, you are such a special young lady. As difficult as life is for you
now, please push yourself to get out and be around your friends, and enjoy whatever
you can. Stay close with your family and Ted's family and friends. They are all
beautiful people who love you and will always be there for you.
Ted will always watch over you, Bless you both.

Dear Danielle,
We were deeply saddened to learn of your tragic loss. We never understand why these things happen in our lives. The only thing we can do is trust God. Allow Him to carry you during this difficult time Danielle. Remember God chose you to be with Ted at this time in your lives and to experience the love and happiness you both shared. What a blessing that he was yours even for a little while. God has a wonderful plan for your journey through this life but through your sad and tear filled eyes you cannot see that now. Someday happiness will return to your life. It will just be on a different road than you planned. You will never forget this precious love you had with Ted. He will always be a precious memory in your heart. We are so sorry that we didn't get to meet Ted. Just what we have heard and read what a wonderful person he must have been. Our deepest sympathy to you, the families, and to all those whose lives he touched. You are in our thoughts and prayers and will be for time to come. Look to God for guidance and may you be blessed with a peaceful heart and the strength to go forward. God bless you sweet Danielle and also the angel that will always be in your heart.
With love,
Ron and Maria

Dear Danielle, At a time like this, words just don't seem to be enough to convey the emotions I feel for you and your family. Knowing that so many people love and care about you is priceless. When you feel a moment of peaceful calm--it is probably when someone has whispered up a prayer in your behalf. You have many wonderful memories of the time you and Ted spent together. With more time, those memories will bring you comfort instead of saddness. Allow yourself time to grieve completely but don't forget to take care of yourself and keep yourself open to the world around you. You are a wonderful woman who was loved by a wonderful man. What a blessing! Continue to believe in love and accept it openly from others.
Love, Donna

Danielle,
I am so sorry for what has happened as Ted was the greatest. I am so thankful that you were able to bring him into our lives as we loved everything about him. We had so many amazing memories in such the short time that we spent with him. He was someone I looked up to (in more ways then one :) ) and I will never forget his personality and humor. When you told me how happy he was the day he left, I knew why. That’s because he had it all. I will never forget the times we shared from the 4 wheeling, to him roughing me up in the middle of the night at Ohio, to the Hartwig Olympics, to just goofing around and cracking jokes with each other. I will always be here for you. Just remember, he had it all when he had you. One day you will be together again. We all will.
Ted’s Family and Friends,
I can see where Ted was influenced by you and all the great times you shared growing up with him. The support you have for each other and Danielle and family is unbelievable. I know Ted wouldn’t want it any other way then watching everyone come together during this time. Thanks for everything and remember that a piece of Ted lives on with everyone who loved him.
To Ted,
Always up for anything and never wasted time when we could be having fun. You always wanted and found a way to bring everyone together, the way it should be. I thank you for all the memories, laughs, adventures and most of all your heart in always taking care of Danielle and family. We all love you and look forward to seeing you again. Until then, feel free to hop on for the ride. I will continue looking up to you. I know you will be watching over us all. We love you buddy.

I only have a few words to say. Mostly because many people have gotten their hearts broken this past month. And also because I couldn't be there for the people I care about. I could never imagine being so incredibly close to someone, living with them, joking with them, seeing them, hugging them, kissing them, talking to them, and being their best friend. And I can only imagine what it must feel like to be IN love with them and then in a split second have that person be taken away. And not so much taken away forever, but for a while. Everything happens for a reason, and they only happen to make us all become a little stronger, to make us realize that we are all human. It makes me want to tell you to NEVER give up on something you believe in, whether it be love, hope, faith, friendship, or just being you. ALWAYS say I love you even though they already know it, just say it anyways to keep their smile shining, to keep their kiss lingering, and to keep their eyes always in your mind. I wish I could be there to take away at least some of your tears. I wish I could say something or do something to make it all go away. But I'm not God. I wish I could brush it off just like someone who doesn't even know them, but the thing is, I wasn't as close to them as you all were, but yet, I still feel it. I was told to say an extra prayer, but one extra could never be enough for the pain you all feel. I LOVE you all and know that I mean it.
We love you Ted, can't wait to have more laughs up in heaven

Our hearts go out to you all in this time of sorrow. We are deeply sadden by the sudden passing of Ted. As we grieve know that we are remembering you and have you in our prayers. Although we did not have much time with Ted, he impacted our lives greatly with his personality, and wonderful smile. Ted's quarkiness made Susan smile. The times we shared with you Danielle and Ted were full of fun, laughter, joy, and all the Labatt Blue Lite we could drink. We have great memories to share with each other for years to come. To Mary, thank you for raising such an amazing man who loved Danielle and life unconditionally. As you all are grieving and asking "Why did this happen" remember to always have faith in God's decision even when its difficult to understand. We will all be together again but God only knows when. Danielle, we love you very much. We wish we can take all your pain and sorrow away. Remember we are here for you no matter what. To Ted, thank you for loving Danielle, and sharing great times with the Hartwig Family. We know you will be watching over us. We love you and will miss you greatly.

Mary, Garry, Gen:
There could not be a better tribute to someone than what everyone has been writing in this guest book about Ted. To know that your son/grandson was loved by so many and that he touched the hearts of so many people in a positive way with his kindness and unselfishness is a great compliment.
When Ted first stepped into the Hartwig family, I wondered if he really knew what he was getting into, he seemed so quiet and unassuming and was entering into a zone with at least 20 loud, sometimes overpowering family members. Somehow he blended in just fine and added so much to our lives. He got along with everyone, pitched right in when needed, knew a lot about everything, and was wonderful to and loved by all the grandchildren. I know that sometimes he must have felt overwhelmed by us all but he took it in stride. He brought so much joy and laughter to every occasion. The changes he brought to Danielle’s life were amazing; he opened up so many doors to her that no one in the family would have ever suspected were even there. He gave her a new passion for life.
If I could speak to him, just one more time, I would thank him for all that he brought into our lives, for making the "Hartwig Olympics" the best ever with his outstanding “Eliminator”, for sharing his home and time with us for the holidays, birthdays and special occasions. I would especially thank him for loving my daughter, for being that special guy who made her so happy. The love between them is rare and beautiful and still exsists. With Ted I knew her heart would always be safe. I would let him know that we will never forget him or all he has done.
They say it isn’t the length of time you live that is important rather what you do with what time you are given. Some people spend many years on this earth and accomplish little, have empty hearts and care about no one but themselves. Then, sometimes, people come into your life just briefly but leave a lasting impression, loving unselfishly, giving all from the heart, this is Ted. Although I wish we could have had a lifetime of years with him, I know God needed him and that from above he is watching and knows how much we love him, miss him and that he will always be a part of our family. You, your family, and all Ted’s friends who have been there endlessly for Danielle will always have a place with our family.
May God Bless you and keep you in his arms for there are only one set of footprints in the sand right now and those belong to God who will carry you throughout this terrible tragedy.
With Much Love, Sharon H.

One Last Ride:B.G
Wish we had one more ride,
my good buddy by my side,
a windy road a twisty trail,
I want one more ride,
with my pal.
We just took a fast one,
but this one I want slow,
one more ride with one of the best buddies I will ever know.
You were always in the the lead,
always showing the way,
I want just one more ride,
you can pick the day.
You see Ted, nobody ever told me that we were taking our last,
I want that ride in the future,
not the one from the past.
The last ride with you remember, will not be our last,
we took you to your final parking spot, with true "mafia" class.
We will see yah soon someday,
on the other side,
And you can give me that ride you owe me, with my buddy on my side.
Gonna miss yah bro.
Brad.

To the Family of TK,
It is with a heavy heart that I write you today. I cannot begin to imagine what you all are going through.
When I think of Teddy the first thing I do is smile because he always made everyone around him laugh till they cried. He was a wonderful human being who was always there for his friends and family. He will forever be in our hearts and our memories.
We pray that each day gets a little easier for you and that eventually your fond memories will outweigh your sorrow.
Teddie @ our toga party.. He always made time for his friends no matter how busy he was!

It has taken me a while to be able to even write in this book because i still didn't want to believe it! Teddie & I have been great friends for over 20 years. He was like my brother. We talked about many things.. of life.. dreams..friends.. & his never ending search for that one woman who would turn his world around!.. After seeing Teddie this last year while visiting NY.. I can honestly say, He looked fulfilled & genuinely happy. I believe he found his peace, the peace he was always searching for in every aspect of his life..
Mary, you have a wonderful son who will continue to live in all of us everyday as we share the joy he has brought into our lives! Know he loved you more than anything in the world and will always be by your side!
Danielle, I don't have to tell you how much he loved you! I know Teddie is looking down on you wishing he could take away your pain! I guess all of us, friends, family, anyone who has been touched by Teddie will always carry a piece of his heart around because he gave so much of it to all he loved. Hogan family- I just want to say that you guys have always been there for him through it all and even now.. I know it is so hard on you and yet through your pain, you still saw to it that he went down a legend. Teddie was one of a kind and we will never know anyone like him. Since his passing, i probably like you all can feel him with me everyday telling me to live life to the fullest and to remember how much fun we had. He is in a better place & someday we will be too!
All my love to the MANY friends, family & to you Danielle who he loved so much!

Danielle, Mary and Gary-
There are so many questions to which we will never know the answers. But in the question of love, there is no question how much he loved you all. The words might not have been said everyday, but he showed in the his smiles everytime he was around you. There was never a day that he wasn't smiling. With these smiles and laughter he brought joy. His life was full of joy and with this joy he brought happiness. This happiness rubbed off on to others around him which gave him great joy. So, in this time of heart ache and pain try to remember the joy and happinees that he brought to you and many others. Remember the full life that he led and continue on as he would, living life to the full extent.
We are so sorry for this awful tragedy. Teddy was one of our brothers in the big family we have and he will be forever missed. All of the awesome memories will stay close to our hearts and help us through this time.
Danielle, you completed Teddy and it has been so great getting to know you. Always remember the happiness you shared with one another. Also, remember that you and the Hartwig family have entered into this family forever. We want you to know that we are here for you if you need anything at all.
Mary & Gary, know that the love of Ted will carry on forever through the family(aka langford mafia) that he created. He always had a way of getting the family together. This family will carry on a legacy of a great man for a lifetime.

Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. I know how much you both loved him and how much he loved you. Ted was an amazing man and always lived life to the fulliest. Ted was always smiling and laughing, I don't think I ever saw him with a frown. He has changed every one of us for the good and challeneged us to try new things we may have never done in our lifetimes. I know he will always be watching over both of you and keeping you safe from any harm. I love you both very much and will be there anytime you need me.

Danielle,
There are never any words that can ease the pain that you are feeling. I hope that you find peace and solace in knowing that in Ted's passing, his heart was filled with love. He left this earth knowing that you loved him very much.
To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
I think Ted accomplished this.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, ""I welcome you.""
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......""My day was not in vain.""
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Danielle:
As a mom, when you were growing up, I could kiss your hurts away, but this time I can't and that makes me feel so helpless. Every tear you shed breaks my heart into pieces and I want nothing more than to be able to make it all better, to make all this misery go away. Ted made such a big difference in your life, bringing into it new experiences that broadened life for you and instilled in you a richness for adventure. Please get through this by remembering what was, not what might have been, for it is more important that the time you spent together was loving and fulfilling and that those memories will last forever within your mind and heart. When Ted's friends told me that he loved you more than anything in the world, I realized that although you are hurting now, you will have that knowledge that will enable you to go on because a statement like that shows that you brought him unlimited happiness and there is nothing that can erase that. Do not spend time asking why because there is no answer and you will only hurt more. Time will heal the pain of this loss but it will be a long time so be patient. At that point when you think of Ted and all his wonderful traits, you will smile and not cry. Know that Ted will love you forever and he will be watching over you from above, this I am sure of. And here on earth you have all your family who will do their best to help you through this and forever. May God ease your pain and bless you with powerful happiness through memories. Love, MOM
