Guestbook

  1. Deepest sympathy to Monica, Ted and all of the family. Such a tragic end to the life of a loving and sweet young man. He will be sadly missed. Sincerely, Rudy and Sandy Lang

  2. So sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers for everyone. Love, JoAnn and Jim and family

  3. I am so very sorry, Ted. John Michael always waved and smiled when I drove past – always. That may seem like a small, insignificant thing to most, but it always made me smile and it never went unnoticed. It made such an impact on me, made me feel ‘recognized’, not ignored. So many kids, and people in general, just look away or stay focused on their own activity – but John Michael acknowledged me as though no matter how many years or circumstances distanced us, he maintained a friendship. That was a blessing that is rare. With love and blessings to all who love him, Monette
