We are so thankful for the time we had with Ted when we lived in Des Moines.
We have many wonderful memories and those will live on in our hearts. We hated the suffering that Ted and all of you have had to go through these last few months, but he suffers no more. His memories will live on through all of his loved ones.
We are sorry that we are not able to be at his celebration of life service, but our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
God bless you,
Rob, Diane, Madison and Jacob Tupper
