Cindy and Family,
I was so sorry and saddened to read about Ted’s passing. I was just browsing the Huerfano World online when I saw his name; it stunned me.
Cindy, I sent a card to you a few months ago, but apparently the address I had wasn’t valid anymore. If you want to share it with me, you should be able to see my email address (I don’t want to post publicly here).
It’s been years since I’ve seen you and even longer since I saw Ted. But I definitely remember his smile and twinkly eyes–especially when he was teasing. I can still hear him…”Now, Lois…” when he was trying to talk me into something the group was doing and I was reluctant.
Take care of yourself.
Lois

Dear Cindy & family, as a member of Ted’s St. Mary’s graduating class of 1969, would like to extend condolences to you & all family members & friends for his loss. He was a great member of our class from 2nd grade through graduation +, lots of fun to have around. Know he will be missed.
