Rick and I loved Ted so much. He came to Highlands, NC several times to see us. We would go fishing or to the dirt track, wherever Ted wanted to go. He loved our mountains. We came up to visit him in Decatur. He took us everywhere. Rick passed July 10, 2024. I know they are together on a creek bank in Heaven now.😇 Ted always made me smile. I will remember his smiling face. Two best friends are together again. 😢🤟💜♥️
I first meet Ted when he walked into my dialysis clinic. We became quick friends and talked about everything. You always had a smile for me when you came in.
I feel so very blessed to have met you and to have been able to take care of you while you where there. Even more blessed that we came friends.
I will miss you so much.
Please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers 🙏 ❤️
