My heart goes out to Karen and her family. Ted was truly a good friend to my late husband Ed and I. I will never forget the many stories, the laughs, good times and great visits. May prayers and thoughts are with you all.

We are so sadden by Uncle Ted's passing. We will remember the great times , not enough of them, in Waldorf, where I was welcomed into the family. And the trips to OC, Steve loved helping out where he could. Now he is with Mocwah. We will fondly remember the trip to Secrets with Marlies. He and Karin always made me feel welcomed to the family. Love you all and sending you our love to keep you strong
