The Breslin family just found out today about Ted. We are devastated by this sad news. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all -- Carol, Ted, Tim, Don, Heather, Matt, Tiff and all the other grandkids. We remember meeting you all at Jupiter Reef Club over 20 years ago and watching your family grow along with ours! Bill remembers the fishing trips as well as the conversations around and in the pool and hot tub. I can't think of a nicer person than Ted - he was so devoted to you all and we share in your sorrow.
With love,
Sabra, Bill, Carrie and Ali

Mr. Sanders has left a wonderful legacy in his children and grandchildren! I met Don at JU in 1986 and we've been friends ever since. May all your happy memories carry you through this time of sorrow. We'll be praying for you!

Sharon and I first met Ted, his wife, Carol and the Sanders kids when we moved to Central Florida in '76. The Jordans and the Sanders have been great friends ever since then. We've watched our families grow - shared many a good time - and now we share in the sadness felt by Ted's family. See you in Heaven, Ted!
