Teddy, my very best friend, how I will miss you. I think back on our days at "Bid's" and sitting on your front porch "the dew drop inn", just shooting the breeze; the good old days. And our adventure in taking on City Hall and winning. How I will miss you. I wish I could have been there with you, but know my thoughts and prayers were and always have been with you. You have always been my sons second mom and even more when I moved to my farm. Thank you my friend. You will always be a legion and for the legacy you leave behind may they find strenght knowing you were loved by some many people for your sincere heart and never ending encourgement and sincerity. Rest now my friend until we meet again.

Nince (Teddy) will always be the most special person in my life. She had the gift of nurturing everyone she encountered, teaching conflict resolution and accepting and loving without question every person she encountered. She molded every person in my family into who they are today. I can't thank her enough for touching our lives.

With love always,
