Last night we were together again. We were young, carefree, laughing, and hanging in the hot summer sun at T&M. When I awoke I was crushed when I realized it was just a dream. But I was so happy to have seen you again. I visit you every year as I do the rounds of those I have lost. You, Mike, Alicia and Booie, the list seems to get longer each year. I have a secret I need to tell you. It's weighing on me more and more as the years go by. I know someday I will see you again and I will tell you. Until then I hold you close always.. My T-Nice I love you... xoxoxo PS tell my dad I said hi.

You are missed sorely, my cousin, every single day. A year feels like a week feels like an eternity. I still hear your voice and your contagious laugh. I remember all of our good times, hanging out together. My heart breaks into a million pieces. I will sing your praises and carry your song in my heart, always. We celebrate your life, Ted, and we all miss you more than words can convey. Give your Mom and Grandma and Chicken Legs and all our beloved who have gone too soon, a hug from me. I say your name everyday and you are still here.

Heaven is now home to all the people I loved most. I'd like to think my father has reunited with my mom and that they both have reunited with you, Teddy. They both loved you so.
Til the day I join you all I will keep your memory alive and I will keep it well.

I would give anything to have you back again Ted. I am so sorry for any pain you were struggling with and wish I could have helped somehow.

To all of Teddy's family and friends,
I am so sorry for your loss. At times like these people always say they know how you feel, when they really do not. Unfortunately I do know, it is never easy to deal with the loss of a loved one. My deepest sympathies go out to all of you. If any of you need to talk or have someone just listen, you know how to contact me. Robbie Melotto

Sweetie, my Teddy. I wish I could talk to you just one more time. There's so much I wish I could say. So much to thank you for. You gave me so much, you worked tirelessly, honestly and with pride. Everyone who met you was impressed by you. Your generosity, your smile, your curiosity and eagerness to learn everything new, each of these things made you the Teddy we all held dear. I only hope you knew how much I loved you, how much my family loved you. How much we will continue to love you. Our hearts are broken. I'll mourn the loss of you for a lifetime. I'll remember your beautiful face forever. I'm grateful for the years we had together. Thank you for sharing part of your life with me <3
