Dear Faith and entire Beebe family,
I am profoundly sad to know your dad is no longer with us. In the five years I have known him he's unquestionably made me feel like a member of the family and I so appreciate him for that. I will always remember him as a great family man whose integrity, moral compass and values were unsurpassed. I've lost a great friend and cousin in Ted. May he rest in eternal peace with your mom. Thank you for everything, Ted. I will miss you dearly and remember you often.
