Dear Kranz Family, Words are insufficient at times such as these.We are deeply saddened by the split second, life changing tradgedy in your lives as a son, brother, husband and father. We remember growing up down the street from the family and Terry and Ted were classmates of some of our children. Ted was a giving, sharing , friendly, happy-go lucky kind of kid, and judging from the comments shared with Anne and others over these past days, he didn't change in attitude. He was a fun kid to be involved with and to watch grow up. How wonderful to be remembered as a friend and a great parent. What happy memories his children will have, knowing that he loved you all. While things may have been tough for you from time to time, and who of us haven't had those times, the treasured times will bring comfort in the days, weeks, months, and maybe even years ahead. We can only imagine the pain and the depth of your feelings, but we can offer you our prayers, our thoughts, and our caring for you all for the strength that will come as you go forward.Know in your heart that you were really blest, and that you have memories to cherish that lots of families never have. God Bless you all and trust that his smile will live on forever. The Fournier Family.

Cindy, Michael, Katie and Courtney,

I don't know if you will ever get a chance to read this or, if you want to. I will be in the background to pay your father the respect he deserves today and tomorrow. I don't know if I can come forward and see you all. I am deeply touched by this but certainly not as you all are. Michael, you are the most respectfull and dedicated player I have ever coached. Stick with it remember what you father taught you and you won't go wrong. To all of you.... please remember only your father's body is gone, Not your father. Every day will make this easier but hopefully you will soon loose the pain you feel now. some day all you will remember your father's teachings to you and his support to you. If you remember him and cherish those memories he will never be gone. He will always be with you in your mind because of your memories. I can tell you it happens. Just remember him and time will take care of the rest. You will see him again when the time is right. He will always be watching over you all. Please remember he may not need his body anymore but he is with us all till we meet him again in the best place he can be... Heaven. Your dad and Cindy your husband was an awesome person on earth. God is lucky to have him. He will always be there for you maybe in ways you cannot see or understand but, for every memory you have he will live on. Fight hard and live a long life. That is what he would want from all of you.
God bless you all and please let me know if you need anything. I have maximum respect for your Father Guy's, and Cindy your Husband. Remember he was a fighter and worked hard. He never gave up and he did make it no matter what life handed him. What a man he was and is.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

To the Kranz family, I only know you through this latest tragedy.. As so many others, you are in heart felt thoughts and prayers. Please remember that in times of sorrow, the shortest distance between your problems and a solution is the distance between your knees and the floor.. for God will never put more on you than you can handle.. for your family....
People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you figure out which it is, you know exactly what to do.

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed outwardly or inwardly. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrong doing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up or out and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and it is now time to move on.

When people come into your life for a SEASON, it is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They may bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; those things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person/people (anyway); and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

This is so appropriate for Ted and his life. We will miss him on earth but one day see him in heaven. His smile and friendship will always be with us.



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.

Ted has been a good friend to all
With never a bad word about any

His Loves in life were immense-
Family, Friends and Fun for all

Ted may physically have departed
But his Joyful contribution to all our lives
Will continue to live forever

June 9, 2010

I am so sorry for your loss..we don't understand why these things happen, but we need to know that Ted is in Heaven looking down on all of you. He sounded as though he was very proud of his family and I know he will be greatly missed by all of you. Try to remember all the good memories you have of him. God Bless all of you.
