I am so very sorry to hear about Brother Ted’s passing. He was one of the sweetest men I grew up in the church with. I loved the drive and passion he had for the Lord. What an example of Christian love he showed to so many! I know he is celebrating in heaven. I am sorry for the loneliness each of you have without him here. God bring each of you peace and comfort in the days ahead. Love you all and my prayers are with you.
