Kathy & TJ
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Ted was one of the most wonderful people to ever touch my life. He was a fantastic mentor to Chris and I as kids. Ted is one of the reasons that I am a coach today. I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate all of his time and his sacrifices that he gave to other men's sons. I wish I could thank him. I will always remember his big laugh and his big love of his family. Heavens gain unfortunately is our loss.

Dear Kathy & Family,
I'm so very sorry for your loss. I felt a little bit of emptiness on Friday when I heard the news. Fridays were always so special when Ted used to get together and B.S. with "the guys" after Mass over coffee and sweets. Ted didn't need any sweetening though, he was a great and lovable teddy bear all on his own. There always was a hug when somebody needed one.

Godspeed to you dear friend Ted, may your journey be short and eternal happiness be yours forever.

Kathy & Family, you have our support and prayers.

Peace be with you,
~ Debbie Kilmurray,

I'm so sorry to hear this, Kathy. I always enjoyed running into Ted at one of the stores and chatting with him. He was such a nice guy. I remember our trip up to Hurley, years ago, with you and Ted and meeting his Mom.
