Ted is a wonderful man in our memories. He always met us with a smile, and he just loved people-especially the young people. He leaves behind the legacy of love. May his memories bring others closer and closer to Jesus. We look forward to seeing him again in heaven, as we have a massive reunion by the Tree of Life, before the throne of God and Jesus saying, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant.” Rodney and Celia Ramey
