Dear Peggy & Jimmy (and families),
We were sorry to hear about your dear mother. She was a gem and we loved her dearly. We rejoice she is now with her Lord. Ted said in case you did not know the story, she helped him escape from the hospital! They would not allow Marie to take him home until he was named and she didn’t have a name for him, so Evelyn went to the hospital and gave him the name Tedson Ray. Ted said Evelyn was more like an aunt to him than a cousin….she always had a very special place in his heart. With loving sympathy, Sandra & Tedson
