Not sure what to say?

I will miss you Ted, you always treated me as a daughter in law. Great grandfather to my son Jason M. Powers. You are a true gentlemen and friend. I wish I could be with the family, my thoughts and prayers go to all of them. I am blessed to be a part of the family. I will miss you! Give Betty a kiss for me. Love you very much.
Greta

To the family,

May God give you for every storm... a rainbow,
For every tear... a smile,
For every care... a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends, a faithful friend to share,
For every sigh... a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.
