Hi Baby, It's been two years now,without you! They say that time heals all wounds, but in my case time seems to have stopped, because I don't seem to be healing! I love you Sweetheart and miss you with each breath I take. You live in my heart and will for eternity.##imported-begin##Shelia##imported-end##
Our dear Shelia,
There are no words to say that would let you know how much we will miss Ted.The memories we have made over these long years will be cherished in our heart for eternity.
Ted was like a brother instead of a friend. I never knew a woman that loved her husband as much as your loved Ted. Please know you have trully been a very faithful wife to your sweet Ted.
We were so happy that Ted always remembered who we were the minute we walked in his hospice room. Ted rest in peace...you gave life all you had to offer.
You were always a joy to be around...Thanks for the memories dear sweet friend.
Love you Shelia ..We are as close as the phone.

So sad to hear of his passing. May the Lord comfort his family.##imported-begin##Laura##imported-end##
A man that had such a zest for life. He tried to teach us to be adventurous, to grow as a person, and to take chances in life. He lit this world up and I know he is doing the same in heaven. The special memories he left each of us, will carry on until we see him again. For his family and friends, he would want happiness for all and for you to know how you enriched his life. With a special fondness Uncle Ted, love from all that knew you!##imported-begin##Glenda Hart##imported-end##

Grandpa was one of the kindest men I have ever met. He never asked anything that he wasn't willing to do himself. Everytime I would talk to him he made me feel loved and I knew I would hear him say hey boy how you doing? I used to say my grandpa is a mix between john wayne and elvis. I got my love of horses from him, he taught me to ride. My childhood at garrett acres is some of my best memories. Ill miss him calling me Thomas. He said I reminded him of a frind he had when h was a kid, thay always made me feel special. I'll miss him singing karaoke elvis, miss the way his soft blue eues twinkled when he laughed his hardy loud laugh, ill miss the way he.made any situation seem allright. I think ill just miss my grandpa. I love u grandpa. If we ever looked on heaven's scenes we will find the streets are gaurded by united states marines. Ill see you soon grandpa semper fidelis##imported-begin##Daniel Roe##imported-end##
Sheila and Family,
You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Ted will be missed by so many. I know my dad, Ed Sizemore, absolutely thought the world of Ted and trusted him completely. Friendships like theirs come along once in a lifetime....I feel thankful and blessed that daddy had such a wonderful friend in Ted. Ted said this to me after we lost daddy, "Lisa, if your dad was right, I will see the ole' boy again." I told Ted that dad was right and they would in deed see each other again. I believe we can find solace and peace in that they were friends on both earthly and heavenly planes.
Love you all,##imported-begin##Lisa Sizemore Taylor##imported-end##
