I have known the Tiemeyer family since "Ted" & Steven attended the Child Development Center at ages 4-6. Norma was a special friend. This was such a caring, loving family. My prayers are with Lisa, Shawn, and Ted.

Ed was a joy to work with at UK. He always had a smile and a warm welcome. I have fond memories of Ed and his team "grilling" for the CNS end of year cookouts. He always teased me about my request for a "burned hot-dog." Rest in peace, my friend.
