I will always remember how good you were to me and my family, as well as to many other things. I will never forget the memories we've had or the times we've laughed so hard we almost pee'd our pants. You were always so nice and so caring and did anything you could to be there. If anything I appreciate that more than ever because thats what matters the most in life is being there for family. To the rest of the family..you know who you are..I love you guys from the bottom of my heart, and I hope that Ted's passing will never keep us apart. You guys will always be family to me ! Keep your heads up just like I am trying to do because these kids needs us right now. Id like to say "Thank you" to Gladys Ball New for holding my hand through all of this...and for having me there to be a part of everything. When I think of the loss of your brother, I then too think of the loss of my Mother and it breaks my heart because I didnt get to say "Goodbye" to her either. But you have been there for me and I love you dearly for that. I'm here for you Gladys...and to the rest of you as well.

Teddy Bear,
The thought of never seeing you again hurts me way too bad! I am so sorry that I didn't know for a long time that you were that sick...if only I would have known I would have been there like I am now. I gained another Father Figure, another friend, and another family as well when I met you. The family has helped pull me together in this time of loss and I have also done the same for them. Kaeden has offered to be a pallbearer at the funeral and to know that he thought so highly of you is killing me right now. He has cried for you dearly...Isaiah isn't much on funerals but he loved you so much! As far as lil Miss Serenity She just met you for the second time right before you passed, and she mises n loves her popaw Ted as she says. I love you and I'm missin you alot right now.

Ted, Words could never describe what I'm feeling right now, but God knows all about it!! I am so glad that I got the chance to spend a whole day with you before you passed, letting you meet your granddaughter and seeing your grandsons....If only I had known that would be the last ime I'd ever got to see you...I would have stayed a little longer, spent more time yah know? But we never know when God sends for us, right? You were always good to me and my kids and as well as my mother and sister. Words cannot say how grateful I am to have had you in my life for as long as i did. I was so hurt that I didn't get to say a proper goodbye but I was on my way to you. Eventhough this time of loss is very hard for me to understand, I am still a little at peace knowing that you are with my Mother now, and she was there to grab hold of you and take you to Heaven. I miss you more than you will ever know...and one day we will meet again at the pearly gates. Me, Michael and the kids will always remember the good times we had with you and love you forever n ever!!
