Ted Jr. you are greatly missed. There's a hole in my heart that you left us so young little brother. You were so talented artistically and protecting others came so naturally to you. I hope in my heart to see you, Mom, and all our beloved family who have passed again one day. Until then little brother, all the happy memories of you live on with your sister and brothers.
