Remembering Ted

Today when we gather to say goodbye to Ted officially, it is family flowers only, so I'll just have this little floral tribute here. I did not know him well. I might not have known him at all except for knowing his sister. They both have a smile that lights up their face and your own. Ted always smiled to see me coming when our paths crossed at the pensioner's lunch or the carvery on a Sunday. He made a point of saying that he had read and enjoyed my article and I knew that he meant it. His speech was sometimes more difficult to understand but it was always worth listening to because he had something to say. I'll miss him.
