Time passes and friends fade into winds of yesterdays but the memories of you and the times we experienced are forever engraved in my mind and heart. I wish every day that I could go back in time and change the way things transpired and then it would have been me instead. I will forever have regrets. Just wanted you to know that you will always and forever be a friend who never fades and I will never forget.

Bro, I still think about you a lot. I can see your face & smile so clearly
Well, it's our bday month. Libra season...lol. Give Nae Nae & Daddy Billy some bday hugs & kisses for me. I have faith that God will have us all together again in the kingdom of heaven. My son that I named after you, is left handed with a big personality, hard headed & born in October just like you. It's crazy! He wants to meet you someday but so do my other sons. I tell them they will in our eternal life. Life has been a lil rough for about 5 years or so but you'd love to see how I am today. I DONT SMOKE CIGARETTES OR DO ANY HABIT FORMING SUBSTANCES. Anyhow, you know how much I can talk. I just miss you! I love you always bubba! Til we meet again.

Always mad love and respect when this time of year comes, seems so vivid in my mind even now. Wishing we could control the hands of time and handle things differently. I pray that you are walking with us all, and guiding our lives along the way. See you again someday.

Hey bubba i know i'm just typing into a computer but i guess it makes us feel better to express our love and broken heart for you. The years have gone so fast and we are getting older, it seems so strange to think how it would be if you were still with us. Miss and love you my protector and friend. See ya when it's time.

Teddy,
You were one of a kind bro, the first person to wrap my hands for a boxing match. In a way it was you that inspired me to fight. I would be angry that your not with us anymore but I know in my heart you were too good for this earth .The friends And memories you left behind run deep. Justin,Jose, Myself, Mikey A, Mikey C, Timmie, Jamie Day, Shannon, man the list goes on forever, those that knew you loved you , those that didn't wanted to meet you. Jose is fighting again, I'm gonna give it a shot one more time..... look after us homie.. until we meet again ..ONE LOVE .

"If tears could build a stairway
and thoughts a memory lane
I'd walk right up to heaven
and bring you home again
No Farewell words were spoken
No time to say good-bye
You were gone before I knew it
And only God knows why."

Nite my Teddybear, I miss you! Can't sleep tonight! There is a song, by Dee, the Encourages called, "I'LL SEE YOU SOON" It's a very beautiful song!

August 15, 2003

My prayers and thoughts are always with Teddy's family. Teddy was such a special person. I remember when we were little, me and Tammy would follow Teddy and Justin to St. James everyday while they played basketball and they would yell at us to go home, then later they would come back and Teddy would teach us to do flips on the trampoline. Its little memories like this that make me smile when i think of Teddy. And going downtown just isnt the same without Teddy smiling with a rum and coke in his hand. I Miss ya Teddy

Love ya lots

To my dear friend, Teddy, I still think about you all of the time. I keep letters you wrote me in my nightstand by my bed & read them over and over again. There have been so many times where I have felt like you were standing beside me, trying to tell me something. I miss you so much. But I want you to know that you live on through your beautiful little girls and the many people whose lives you touched. I know you are in heaven, smiling down on all of us . . . and probably spending eternity shaking your booty on that big dance floor in the sky:-) Tell Brandon I said hello. I love you, baby! I miss my big brother:-( but I know we'll see each other again, some day soon. Until then, I'll do my best to take care of Loren for ya. I'll never forget your beautiful smile or that goofy laugh:-)

Your Friend Forever,

Trisha

Your family will always be in my heart and in my prayers. May you Rest In Peace Baby.

You were always there when I needed you.I will forever cherish the times we had.You always knew how to have fun and involve those around you.You were the best pipelayer I've ever seen and you taught me so much. I'm thankful to have had you as a teacher and a brother. I really miss your smiling face!Teddy, you were one of a kind and I'll never forget you.I LOVE YOU BRO!

Robin Oliver

I want to send my prayers out to the family. I know all of you are going through a hard time and I can't even imagine. I miss Teddy very much. Every morning I think of him and many times throughout the day. Its hard to believe this has happened to our Teddy. You better believe he always had a smile on his face, no matter where he was or what he was doing. I've never seen anyone live life to the fullest the way he did and I know he left with a smile. I cherish,miss, and love him and we'll be with him again one day. But until then we all have to live life to the fullest just as if he were here with us. To all the family, I love you and I'm thinking of you each and every day. I have faith that each and everyone of you will make it through this.

Stephanie Brannen

April 21, 2003

I haven't been that close to Teddy for a couple of years now, but I'd see him out once in a while. We'd say hey and speak for a minute, he'd always said something crazy to me, then we'd laugh and say goodbye. The last time I saw him was Super Bowl Sunday. He was so silly that night. I never knew that would be the last time we'd say goodbye. I'll always think of his smiling face when I go to certain places now, and how he always made me laugh...I love you Teddy, and I'll miss you!!!
