I am signing this in memory of my Aunt Ted. She was a very strong willed and beautiful person. I have so many memories of her. I remember going to cheerleading competitions with her, although i was never a cheerleader. I remember many funfilled times out the lake with her from the time I was a small girl. I also remember Aunt ted always had the best candy . I remember Aunt Ted as the one we , nieces and nephews called when we needed to talk, she was always there for us . She was there for so many people, She was truely a great lady and will be greatly missed by friends and family. I want to thank all on behalf of the Stager and Pfeilstucker families for signing this guest book or sending notes of sympathy through the mail to us. They help a lot when going through this tough time. So please always keep my Aunt Ted in your thoughts and when you think of her smile.

thank you all so much
