Six years later it's still surreal. The guys in your firehouse know what many of us knew who played on a team with you. You are the ultimate teammate. We got to know each other threw football on those championship teams.

While all the crazy news of that day played on every station yesterday, I watched our Championship video, again, against Franchise. I do this every year at this time. It's always good to see the smile we all had on our faces. What a great time we had back then! Those are the memories I choose to keep.

God Bless!

Dear Teddy,



I am thankfull for the time that I have known you. You helped me become a better person and for that I thank you. I am happy we were able to stay in touch, not so easily done even if we lived just a few blocks from each other. Now that you are gone I will miss your friendship. From my family to yours I express my condelences and know that we grieve with you.



FRIENDS



Friends are angels

who lift us to our feet,

when our wings have trouble

remembering how to fly.

To the family of Teddy White,



I was a classmate of Teddy at McClancy from 1985-1989. He was a great friend who I fell out of touch with after highschool. When I heard about his death I was devastated. If it weren't for the distance between South Carolina and New York I'd be there to support you. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of Teddy. I hope that his family is holding on. You will forever be in my prayers. I am thankful for the time I spent with Teddy. I would like to help in any way possible. I would also like a mercy band with Teddy's name to where in his honor.



With Love,



Charles M. Spacek

Ted,

It is all still very unbelievable that you are not here. You are a hero, and I know that you are safe in Heaven now. Jen & Taylor miss you so much, as the rest of the family does. Taylor looks more like you each time I see her. I am so glad you got to meet Bobby. We all love & miss you very much. Until we meet again...

Today is 9-11-02 and for the past year and for all time to come, I have, and will proudly wear a Mercy Band with Edward White's name on it. I sent a letter to his family last year to offer comfort and to simply let you know that he indeed was a hero and that some guy in Texas will never forget him. God Bless you guys.

Ted:

I cannot begin to tell how much you are missed. You were always a great guy, but even more so, a great friend. I will never forget all the great times we had and I am glad that there were plenty of them. Like they say "a picture says a 1000 words" and I have enough pictures to write a book. Our hearts goes out to you and your family. May you rest in peace my friend.

Teddy, not a day goes by that you are not in our thoughts. Our deepest sympathy and prayers go out to your family. You are a true Hero, but that is not news to anyone from the Gardens because we always knew that you were.

Teddy, it's been 6 months and everyone still talks about you. Not a day goes by and I don't think about you. You were a great friend and I pray for you and your family all the time. Rest in Peace.

I certainly liked and admired Teddy for the boy he was and the man he became. My son, Tommy, loved him as his coach. We wish the entire White family God's blessings and comfort.

To a real Hero and very good person in Edward he was. I knew him for some years and knew of him being a very good natured and friendly man and I really liked him and considered him, a good friend. I wish in the short time that I knew I wished I could known more of him. I wish his family and friends all the deepest sympathy, and he will always be remembered as a hero to this great city. My prayers and blessings go out to all that were lost, god bless all.



Deepest Sympathy,

Jeff Veloza

After seeing McClancy's newsletter and seeing that you were among the missing made me think back to how long I knew you and our "arguements" about Upback vs Itchycoo. You certainly are a hero and God Bless your family.

Edward & family..Although I do not know you personally, my heart along with prayers go out to you. I became friends with your younger brother, Billy, through the computer. I had lost a great friend of mine, Chris Mozzillo, with Engine 55 on the 11th. Billy and myself tell stories, and chat about the both of you all the time. I know you both are watching down from above, along with all the other angels. I thank you for being a hero, and until we all meet again, may you Rest In Peace..

Dear Edward,

Rest In Peace with God and your fellow Angels. On September 11, you made the ultimate sacrifice for others and a hero you were.

Sadly, we found out just how many heroes there were on that fateful day.

My thoughts and prayers continue to be with you and the loved ones you left behind.

I know this holiday season is so much different than in past years. Love, compassion, and caring for our fellow man has spread like a forest fire. I know I speak for millions of others when I say I wish I could take away the events of September 11... make that day never happen.

God has embraced you into the warmth and love of his arms. That is where you should be.

I am so sorry for you loss...I am so sorry!

I am extremely sorry for your loss of Edward. We thank him for having been such a kind person who would answer calls to take care of others. Our hearts cry with you.

America Cries

We see your sorrow-

and our hearts cry....

We can not erase your pain

but you do not have to face the anguish alone-for we-

-the American people-

are beside you.

We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,

the strength that gives you courage,

and the words to lighten your spirits.

And when we are left speechless

may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts

to ease your sorrow.

May you find healing through our nation's strength as we-

-the American people-

face this difficult time together. Our hearts are with you. Teresa Jahn
