I miss you so so so much and I wish you were here so we could celebrate you with a good ole charcoal grilled ribeye on the grill. You were the best cook and I truly appreciate everything you did for me growing up and as an adult. You always made sure I was okay and if I wasn’t, you made sure to let me know that everything would be okay. The love you gave me sustains me, and will live on in me forever. Thank you for being the best Daddy ever! I Love and miss you so very much! Keep watching over us and reminding me that everything is going to be okay. ❤️
I’m very thankful and blessed that God chose you to be my Daddy!

It’s Christmastime again... Another without you here. The heartache never goes away, it’s just worse this time of year. Christmas was always your favorite, we would all get together with family and eat good food that grandma Helen and grandpa would cook. I always looked forward to those times together. My favorite though was that you always came over to see us every single Christmas morning❤️. And you always showed up for me whenever I needed you. I knew that I always had you... Oh I miss you so much especially this time of year. I know you live on inside my heart and one day I will see you again. I love You Daddy!!!!

Daddy, this day And the memories that come with it never get easier. Things would be so different if you were here. I would have my person that I know I can count on. It’s hard to get through some things without you here for me. If you were here you would tell me to just do what makes me happy and don’t worry about the other crap and that everything is gonna be ok. Need a big hug from you right about now! I love you So much ❤️

I'll never forget this day as long as I live. This day 3 years ago, you went to heaven and my heart broke into a million pieces. My world crumbled because you were gone. I never thought it would happen. You were always invincible to me. The one I knew I could always go to. Now I go to you in pray, but I wish I could have a big ole daddy hug right now!!! (Maybe you can visit in my dreams?) "I miss you" aren't enough words to explain the missing part inside my heart. It aches to hug you and to hear your voice telling me it's all gonna be ok. I love you sooooooooo much daddy and I can't wait to see you again one day!! You were an amazing Daddy!! You raised some amazing and loving children! You live on in each of us! I see a lot of you in Carter also! And it makes me so happy!!! He misses his Grandpa Ted too !!! I love you and miss you dearly, love your oldest ❤️RaChelle

You are and will always be the love of my life. What more can I say than that? At first just going on was hard, but we hv three beautiful children so I had no choice. Then the grief engulfs you to the point you dnt think you can breathe. But then God gives you the strength to know that one day I will see you, hug you, & best of all love you all over again! I love you my Husband and I cannot wait to see u again! "Your Tamara"

It was always so much fun there and everyone was always so friendly. Ted's smile could light up the night and he will be forever missed!!! I truly am very very sorry for your loss. The world has lost one good man but Heaven has gained a wonderful angel!!!!

My Daddy, the greatest man I ever knew

December 22, 2018

When you think of Daddy’s little girl, a picture of me should come to mind. Ever since I could remember, my Daddy has been there for me, no matter what! One of the earliest memories I have of his shining knighthood, was kindergarten and the school bus... everyday I got on the bus, the bus driver would take off before I could sit down, and I would almost fall. Well my Daddy got tired of it and got on the bus one morning and I’ll leave out the details lol but Needless to say, I always had a seat before the bus took off from then on. Now... if you are reading this, then you know my Daddy and you know he was a no bs man when it came to his kids. That moment was first of the many that I remember him standing up for me throughout my life. That’s who he was. He was our protector. He did anything and everything he could to give me a good life, to provide for me, and to keep me safe. He was a loving and caring Daddy and I knew I never had anything to fear because I always had him near. 

He lives on inside of his three children. We each carry a part of him and together we are fierce like him. When hard times come, we are here for one another like he was always here for us. And I can still hear him say “ it’s gonna be ok”. 

I love you Daddy. I will miss you until I see you again.
