Bootsie, Kevin, Derrick, Aaron, and families: I am so sorry to read of Ted's death. Jesus comforted his disciples by saying , "If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also." Ted is with Jesus now and one day we will go there to join him and see our loved ones again. I feel that Uncle Charlie and my Dad had that mansion ready and waiting for Ted when he crossed over into Glory.
