May the God of all comfort sustain your family during the days ahead Psalms 119:76

To Teddy's Family, Friends, & Fans:

I didn't know Young Greatness, but 25 years ago, I met a somewhat shy, very intelligent, little boy named Theodore Jones. He was one of 35 students assigned to my 4th grade class at Philips ES. Teddy, with his big bright smile, was respectful, yet fun-loving and easygoing. Even when teased by his classmates, he would just smile and keep it moving.

I'm saddened that his time here was so short, but I'm grateful that I was allowed to be a part of his life, and to witness his GREATNESS long before the world even knew who he was.

Ms. Jeanine Rose, other family and friends, I pray that God's perfect peace and comfort will rest upon you always. May your memories of Teddy bring you joy, until you meet again.

With Deepest Sympathy,

Courtney Thomas
