This is a man I never met. I wish I had so I could have told him how much he was loved by his mom, his brother and sister, nieces and nephews, his children and all who knew him. It is so sad to lose someone before their time here was completed. I have faith that God was with him when he left this earth. May his passing leave a message to all who loved him. Godspeed Teddy

Ted's second birthday in Heaven
August 1, 2014
by Cathey Frye
Ted's first birthday after his death I totally missed . i went into the hospital on his
b day and was there for 5 days. I think that it was my way of getting through it . This year I was fullly aware of it . That morning I opened the door to a butterfly to greet me like he was saying good morning mom. Teddy was my middle child and always so full of life . He loved to tell jokes ,he always seemed to loose the punch line. I do so miss my son . He will always be a part of me ,he is forever in my heart. He was a loving child and man always searching for that next rainbow but never quite reaching it. We talked almost every day his first words every morning were Chello. He loved to sing and dance . His favorite song was Hello Darling by Conway Twitty . Everyone that knew Ted loved him and knew he would give you the shirt off his back. I will someday get to be with my boy ,I know he is with me as I go through my day always watching over me , he is my guardian angel . Like this song he was gone to soon . Happy Birthday to my wonderful son . I love you to the heavens and back. Love your MOM
