BLACKWELL, William Edward (Ted) (also known as Edward William) RNZA329078 In loving memory of the best husband and father there could possibly ever be. Ted, you are missed by all your family and friends but especially your wife Helen Anna and your two sons Noel and Michael. Never does a day go by that I don't think of you dear and miss you by my side so terribly. Life will never be the same again. It has been a very sad and painful year since you slipped away from me, but everyone says time will heal, I'm not so sure. Until we meet again, my darling take care and wait for me, I will be coming. All my love, Helen.
