Ted, I miss you already. You are just not my little brother, you are my friend. So happy I had just talked to you Monday night. I have so many beautiful memories of us, just hanging around, going out of town to the casino, you making me learn how to change a flat on your car, us stealing meat off the pit when daddy was Bar-B-Queing. You did so many wonderful things for me and 3 I will never forget that. It's very hard for me right now cause I can't believe you are gone. All I can say is that I love you always.
I LOVE BIG BROTHER AND I WILL MISS YOU
