Ted and I sang a duet together , (Rise and be healed) and as we concluded that great song seven hundred Pators came to their feet and with hands raised praised God .My voice teacher was Irene Williams ,the voice tgeacher of Mario Lanza and let me say I never sang better than that wonderful day I sang with Ted Garrett. He is now blessing those who are in Glory and one day Ted and I will sing again in the kingdom of God,Praise the Lord.

Just a short word about Ted. At the office Ted was able to fix everything, and if something was lost, he found it. He sang for us and prayed for us. He will truly be misssed.
The vows that you made long ago, "to love and cherish . . . until death do us part" are seen so vivdly in your marriage, you truly looked after him and he looked after you.
I remember telling you that Ted did not have a hair out of place, his shoes were always shiny, and his suit did not have lint on it. You told me you stood on a chair to roll him down each Sunday before Church. And I can see you doing that. We love you very much, and pray that God fills your heart with His Presence as you await the very short period of time when you shall be together with Ted again.
Looking forward to your return.

Ms. Pat, It was a privilege to know Ted and to call him friend. He encouraged with his words and by his example. He was a true Christian gentleman. I can truly say I am better having known him. Thank you for sharing.

Pat,
Ted will always live on in the lives of everyone he meet. He was truly one of God's Blessings. He was a great man. I know you loved him dearly and will miss him even more. I pray that the Lord will grant you peace and comfort in knowing you did everything you could to care for him during his illness. And I know Ted loved you, he would always call the mailroom and ask if his "sweet little wife "was there. I admired you guys and even was a little jealous. You were truly blessed to have had such an amired husband. I hope you keep in touch with me. I will always cherish my garden/yard, you will always be part of it. I see you everywhere I look.
Thank you!
with love and prayers,
cheri

Our church is deeply saddened by the loss of Bro. Ted. He has been a blessing to our church each time we viewed the purchased videos and by internet TV and also when we were priviledged to attend Campmeeting services. We never met him personally but feel like we knew him and we feel the loss of our beloved brother. However; we know we will meet him in Glory. We trust our Savior to comfort your hearts.

Dear Mrs. Pat, I have never met Ted in person, though I feel like he is a personal friend. I know that because the love of Jesus Christ was in his life, and it showed when he would sing, the Spirit of God could be felt as soon as he began. Know that I and my family are sorry for the loss of such a man of God. We know that when we meet him it will be around the throne of Glory with Christ, and the host of heaven. Sincerly Faire Hicks Pastor, Bon Lieu Church of God.

Dear Mrs. Pat,
I am so sorry for your loss. You know I am remembering his thoughtfulness. I remember the day he was bringing up chairs for Nancy and I. He was very concerned that we be comfortable and new how to adjust the chairs and everything. His concern touched me. His sense of humor suprised me. Anyway, you are in my prayers.

Dearest Pat - There are really no words that can describe the loss of a loved one - especially such a close one - we all will miss Ted so very much but will see him again shortly. I believe if Ted could send us back a message, it would be "The King (really) IS Coming!!!
May God Bless You and give you His Peace. (Rev 22:21) Ron

Dear Pat and family,
We share in your sadness, yet we cannot refrain from rejoicing with you for Ted's flight into Glory this week. I can only imagine the expression on his face now as multi-millions are greeting him there and telling him how much God used him to bless their lives. He will forever remain a vibrant part of our lives and will never be forgotten. We love you, Pat, and we are standing strong for you, dear sister.

Pat, Hello. Tammi and I want to let you know we were sorry to hear about Ted's passing. He was such a very special friend to me. I remember the many times he came by to pick me up giving me a ride to the office as we were on our way out of town for a Crusade. Of course, I still remember him as "The Candy Man". We will never, ever forget him, a very kind, generous and thoughtful person. For sure, he has enhanced the atmosphere of Heaven with his presence. We will be praying for you. God will give you strength as He is the Comforter. Danny & Tammi

Dear Pat,
My Brother Ted will be greatly missed. I hold great memories of him especially during my years as Preschool Director at FCA. He had a great love for the children and for everyone he came in contact with. I have the video of my mom-in-law's memorial service where he sang for us. I hold you up in prayer. The Lord is our Comforter and our Strong Tower. We love you. If you need us for anything, please accept our help. Love, Dorothy and Amanda

Dear Sister Pat and the entire FWC and JSM Family, I want to extend my sympathies for a loss that we all feel. Brother Ted was a blessing to millions around the world and to me as well. We have seen many come and go throughout the years but he displayed a faithfulness that few can be noted for. Brother Ted knew where God had called him to be, and only Eternity will tell the impact that his obedience has made. Brother Ted taught us all, a little more, how to worship. Now he has seen, face to face, the One for Whom he sang these many years. My love and prayers for all the JSM Family. God bless you. - "Ten-thousand years, and we've just begun."

Dear Ms. Pat, the loss of Ted is huge, he is one man that will not be forgotten. What a joy he was to all of us who knew him, & there are so many of us, Ted had time for everyone!! I am sure his reward in heaven is great because he was such an amazing servant with so much compassion & love for others. I will always remember Ted for his gentle spirit, faithfulness, big heart, anointed singing and Godly character. Everyone just loved him, he will be so missed because of the man he was. I'm going to miss always seeing him around, chatting with him and seeing him sing. Pat, may the Lord really comfort you at this time and may you rest in knowing that Ted lived a life that will be long remembered and is now with his Lord and Savior that he loved so much! God bless you Pat for caring so deeply for him through the time he was sick, he was so blessed to have a wife like you and he knew it :-) My prayers were always with you and will be. May the Lord give you the strength that you need.
Love, Mirjam Pimlott

Pat,
About a year ago while working a SonLife radiothon, Ted sat with me for quite some time, telling me some of the things he's done and some of his experiences. He described crusades and he talked about his life outside the ministry. What a blessing he was that day and what a blessing he has always been. We will miss him.

Ted will be greatly missed by all privileged to have known him.
