Teddy was a kind and gracious lady.
My mother, Gert, always said "Teddy never said
an unkind word about anybody".

I have fond memories of swimming in Ferber's
pond, going to horse shows and in recent years,
hearing the sound of a tractor and know that
Teddy was coming by.

Her presence in the Village will surely be missed.
