    Teddy, I love you buddy and will miss you dearly. I don't think there is enough room to write all the memories. You brought Angela and I together, and as you always said "I can't beleive we're really family now." You loved Angela so much and we had many talks about her and the concerns you had for her. The last time we talked you told me "you know I love you and we're brothers" you we're right. You get your rest now and know that you will live on in our hearts and everytime I run out on a fire call I know you are right beside me. We love and miss you - Todd & Angela.
