Edward Colbert Obituary

Of Saugus, Entered Eternal Peace on Feb. 13, 2002 at 30 years of age. It is with a deep sense of loss the family announces that Ed, affectionately known as Ted, has lost his courageous and stoic battle with stomach cancer. Ted, a lifelong resident of Saugus, is the dear son of Tom & Rosemary (Reidy) Colbert; the cherished brother of Thomas & his wife Denise of Peabody, Michael & his wife Deanna of Saugus & kid-sister Trisha of New Orleans; the precious friend of Pamela DeMonte of Revere. Ted was especially adored by his niece Emily & he treasured his new-born niece Sydney. A 1989 Graduate of Northeast Regional Vocational High School, he was a highly regarded electrician. Ted was considered by so many friends to be "the salt of the earth." He maintained his legendary sense of humor until the very end. Funeral from the Bisbee-Porcella Funeral Home, 549 Lincoln Ave., SAUGUS, Monday at 9:30 AM followed by a Funeral Mass in the Blessed Sacrament Church, Summer St., Saugus at 10:30 AM.

Ted, I just spent an hour going over your guest book (again). Time is slipping by and those twins of your sister and Will are getting closer. You probably can see more than we can, so you already know (boys?/girls?/one of each?). Keep watch! I cant wait! Its a little easier now that they should be viable. Please keep an eye on us all.

Happy Birthday Uncle Teddy! I miss you, as always!
Today I was thinking about all the fun memories that I have of you. My favorite is when I put barettes and clips in your hair. You almost walked right out the door with them on, and you would have if my mom hadn't stopped you. That was fun.
Thinking of you!

Hi, Teddy!
You know that we gathered as a family (Trisha is in Mississippi) for your memorial Mass yesterday. Your uncle Ed and Kathy came too. He even insisted on picking up the tab at the Marriott in Peabody where we had brunch.

We miss you as much as ever!
I am so confident that you are at peace with our Heavenly Father. Be there to welcome me when it is my turn.

Whew. so glad that the holidays are over. I hope that there is less snow in heaven! We have seen enough down here! I was thinking of you, and remembering how you never minded coming to pick me up in the snow because you knew how scared I was to drive in it! These days, most people tell me to get over it...."You Live in New England!" I am glad that YOU never said that to me.
Miss you still.......

I had no idea this book existed. We were talking at work today about EJ, and I explained where the nickname came from, and how confusing it was with just me (Ed III) and my Dad (Ed Jr.). I almost immediately thought of cousin Teddy, and how his nickname kept the confusion low with him. I found this on line today, 6+ years later. Think of him often....

Hi Teddy,

I was on vacation last week, but thought of you all week. The weirdest thing happened....I was on a cruise, and I was at a Karoke Club on Valentines day. People were getting up to sing all night. Then it happened! The last song of the night............Yup, you got it, someone got up and sang "I got friends in low places!" My eyes filled up immediately, and instantly I knew you were there!
Thanks for that.
Love

Another Thanksgiving is quickly approaching. The Holidays have not been the same since my mom died. I miss her and I MISS you. I remind myself each ThanksGiving that although some of my loved ones are no longer with me, I am VERY thankful for the things that I have..I am so thankful for knowing you. I miss you often but I am truly thankful for the time that we had together and the happy times that we often shared. I am especially thankful for all the laughter that you gave me. OH that laugh you had. I remember it like it was yesterday............
Happy Thanksgiving Teddy,

Hey there Teddy,
Time is just going by isn't it? I had my 20 year High School reunion on Saturday night! 20 years! I hadn't seen most of these people in about that time. A lot of them approached me to say they heard what happened to you and they were so sorry. I couldn't believe how many people from my class new you? You were well liked everywhere! Not that I'm suprised or anything! hahah. Anyway, I've been thinking of you......
ALways,

Hello Teddy,

On Monday it will be 4 years since you left us all. I suppose time really does heal some wounds but it NEVER heals how much we miss someone. I still miss you ALL the time and wish you were here. Although my life is so different then it was 4 years ago, one thing has not changed. I still wonder "what if " all the time. Life can throw you a curve ball and in the blink of an eye your life will forever be changed. But luckily for us still remaining, that curve ball can never ever take away what has been enbedded in our minds and in our hearts. Please continue to watch over us, I know that you do.........all the time because I can feel it.

I miss you Teddy,

Love

Me

Hey Ted,

Can you believe that is almost Halloween? Where does the time go. It seems to just fly by these days. I check in here to legacy once in a while just to write to let you know that I have not forgotten you. (Now how could I do that?) Your friends from T-bones still talk of you often as well. Miss you.......

Hi,Teddy:

We spent the day thinking of you. Wow-three years since we said goodbye. How we still love you as ever!

Your mom woke up this morning thinking of you and said a little prayer: "Oh, God, this day would be easier if I could be sure that Teddy were with you and safe at home." She turned on the TV and the Mass was on (which she doesn't usually watch). The communion hymm was sung: "Surely the Presence of the Lord is in this Place." You remember? That was the hymn she chose for the opening song of your Funeral Mass. We were blessed with His peace so quickly!! It DID make the day easier on both of us.

How we still love you!!!

We gathered last night for your Memorial Mass at Blessed Sacrament. We were all there except Tricia, of course. She was with us in spirit. I know that you understand.

You have been there for us, Teddy. I know that. Please continue to help those you loved so much that you had to leave behind.

You know what to do now.

Thank you!

Dad

Well hello my dear friend, As I watched the Superbowl on Sunday, I could not help but think of you. It does not suprise me that the "Pats" have won each Superbowl since you have been gone, In my eyes, They do it for you!!! February 13th is just days away and I still can't believe that it has been 3 years since you have been gone. I still keep you with me in my heart and I pray for your family always. I miss you, life just isn't the same without that great smile and crazy laugh of yours!

Well hello Teddy.....I have been thinking of you a lot today. Wondering, if you were still here, what we would be doing? Its Thursday, you know the "night out"! I hope that you are still watching over me........because I still think of you all the time and truly miss the friendship that we shared. I have been down T-bones and people are still, always, bringing up "Ted" stories and we all laugh and add our own stories of you into the mix! You will never be forgotten down there either!

As we near the 2 year anniversary of the date that you left us, I wonder where the time went. Some days it seems like I just talked to you and other days it feels like 20 years has passed. I have found some peace with the fact that you are gone. It took me almost 2 years to find that peace. But I have, and find great comfort in knowing that you are in Gods hands and that you are still watching over all of us. Although, I am moving on with my life, I want you to know that not one single day has gone by that I have not thought of you.............and I have a feeling thats just how its gonna be until we meet again.

I love and miss you Ted,

Hi Theo,

I was just reading over your guest book and decided to say hello!! I can't believe that more than a year has gone by since I saw you last. I hope you have heard some of my Karoake dedications to you during the last year and it made you laugh. I'm still not getting any better either am I. Doyou think I sound better from far away...ha. I even sang your song "Friends in Low Places" kinda brings a new meaning to the song as you sit so "HIGH ABOVE" us now. Well, til we meet again, I miss you and love you...

Well, One year ago we said goodbye. I want you to know that I have thought of you every day for the past year and missed you every second. Your family has been a big part of my strength through all of this and I am so grateful for their acceptance. I want you to know Teddy that no matter where I go in this life and no matter what God has in store for me you will forever be in my heart. You will never be forgotten. I am in no rush to get to heaven but I find great peace in knowing that when my time comes you will be waiting for me. I know I will see you again.

I love You,

January 19, 2003

I feel like I've just existed

And now its been almost a year

I don't know how I've lived and breathed

Without you being here.

I know you lived your lifetime

as short as that seems to me

But the pain in my heart is still so great,

Yet I know your spirit is free.

At times I think I hear you

The thoughts come to my mind.

I struggle for the sound of your voice

But your voice I cannot find.

Yet you come to me in many ways,

So I know you did not die

You want to tell me that your close

And to please stop asking why.

Our lives on earth seem all too brief

Or brief as it seems to me.

But where you are is forever,

God calls that Eternity.



I love and miss you Teddy,

Pam

December 24, 2002

Well Its Christmas Eve and I miss you more than ever. Its still does not feel real.....You being gone. I still have those days when my phone rings and think its all been a big mistake and it is you on the other end of the phone calling to say hi. I haven't lost my mind, I guess its just wishful thinking. Life is so different without you here. We are expecting a snow storm tommorow for Christmas day. I want you to know that with each snowflake that falls, I will think of you......with all the love in my heart. I know that you will be with Jesus this Christmas. I'm sure he will take care of you.

Remember I love you and you will never be forgotten.

Merry X-mas Teddy,

Its been a while since I have written. Not because you have been forgotten, because that could never happen. I am just trying to adjust to life without you. And Teddy, this has not been easy. I still think of you EVERY day and still wonder about what could have been but I want you to know that although 8 months has passed I still think of you every day and hope that you are at peace wherever you may be. You are still in my heart and forever you will be.

Missing you,

Don't think of him as gone away

his journeys just begun

life holds so many facets

this earth is only one

Just think of him as resting

from the sorrows and the tears

in a place of warmth and comfort

where there are no days and years

Think how he must be wishing

that we could know, today,

how nothing but our sadness

can really pass away

And think of him as living

in the hearts of those he touched

for nothing is ever lost

and he was loved so much

Loving you,

Pam

Pam DeMonte

June 13, 2002

I felt the need to write again today.....



I have other friends whom I talk to

but its not the same

You had such a deep understanding of who I am.

I hardly had to speak any words and you knew just what I was saying.

I really miss you and I want to be sure that you know, that no matter where I go, whom I meet or what I do, I'll never find as deep a friendship with anyone as I had with you...

4 months without you seems like eternity...

Love

Pam

June 13, 2002

I AM FREE

Don't grieve for me, for now I am free.

I am following the path God has laid you see.

I took his hand when I heard him call.

I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day, to laugh, to love, to work or play.

Tasks left undone must stay that way.

I found that peace at the close of day.

If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joys.

A friendship shared , a laugh a kiss.

Oh yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with time of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tommorow.

My lifes been full I've savored much: Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,

Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.

Lift up your heart and peace to thee.

God wanted me now he st me free..



I love and miss you Teddy,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I never had the opportunity to meet Ted, but I have had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with Tom Sr. He has always spoken so highly of all of his children. I am quite certain that Ted was a kind, caring, and considerate man who put others ahead of himself. Just like his Dad. My thoughts and prayers are with Ted and his family.

Hi Teddy,

Just wanted to say hello to you today. DOing it in a prayer didn't seem like enough. I miss you.....so much. I am so grateful that your family left this Guest book open. Sometimes I really need to write to you. I hope you got to spend some time with my mom yesterday like I asked. SHe always thought the world of you and I know how much she enjoyed your company. If you did spend time with her...Thanks. I am really hoping that you got her out on that Magic dance floor in heaven like you used to do when you were both here.

I love you so much Teddy,

Teddy,

Yesterday, was 2 months that you have been gone and I found this poem in some things that I had and thought it was perfect....



Should you go first and I remain,

to walk the road alone,

I'll live in memories garden, dear

with happy days we've known.

In spring, I'll wait for roses,red,

when the faded lilacs blue.

In early fall when brown leaves fall,

I'll catch a glimpse of you.

Should you go first and I remain,

for battles to be fought.

Each thing you've touched along the way will be a hallowed spot.

I'll hear your voice, I'll see you smile, tho blindly I may grope,

The memory of your helping hand, with buoy me with hope.

Should you go first and I remain,

one thing I'll have to do:

Walk slowly down that long long path, for soon I'll follow you.

I want to know each step you take, so I may take the same.

For someday down that lonely road,

You'll hear me call your name.



I miss you Ted,

Love

Hi Again Teddy,

Its Easter night and I have been thinking of you all day. I had an Easter egg hunt with the kids today at my sisters and I found a few eggs just for you........and funny enough, they were filled with Peanuts!!! Your Favorite late night snack at my house!! I laughed a lot when I opened it and found the peanuts and wondered if that was your way of saying "Hello"....I think it was.

I love you

I loved Ted as a brother and knew him really well, I am so thankful that I was one of the lucky ones who did get to know Ted and will miss him dearly. I have so many good memories of him and I will always remember his SMILE, laughter and also the look of disbelief every time I beat him in Cribbage!!

LOVE & MISS YOU TIL WE MEET AGAIN< GITTI-UP!!! LOVE KAKES
