Missing you dear Ted :)

You are now covered in flowers fear Ted.
All the people who came to farewell you, pay you tributes and sing to you miss you so much. We cannot believe you have gone and we will never forget you. You know we love you and we will always talk of you as we meet up. We have plans to honour your memory Ted. Watch over us from Heaven and smile every time we say your name. Often.

Dearest Ted
There were times when you made me laugh aloud,others when time wasnt long enough.
How sad to know we will not share these anymore
You wont be winning Lotto and marrying me and hundreds of others the next day
We wont get to run away & share that island in the sun
No one else will have your humor or be able to tell those JOKES!!!
But we will always have your memories and when we think of you we will smile again
R.I.P Ted

Ted, what an awesome man, who constantly asked 'will you marry me if i win lotto we could run away together', you were taken much to soon my friend i will always miss you r.i.p Ted my love always

To the man who I constantly argued with nearly every day, I will miss you.To be taken away before you got to retire, that is so not fair.All I heard was I have one and a half years before I retire and the things you planned to do.Win lotto and run away with me.Haha.RIP Ted.
