Dear Irene,
We were so saddened to hear of Ted's death. It's such a loss for your family, your congregation, and all those who knew Ted. He was such a positive influence and witness to others as he lived out his faith and shared that faith with others. I remember that through the years he was always willing to "take up the slack," especially as it involved serving on the Board of Evangelism. I'll always associate that board with Ted. Also, I was blessed when he participated in the Crossways class where he shared his insights and his beliefs. Ever a teacher as well as a student, he prepared a couple handouts on things that particularly interested him, such as everywhere that a prophet was mentioned in the Bible, and I've made copies to share with others who take the class. We have no doubt about where Ted is today -- he's one of those dressed in white who is gathered around the heavenly altar singing praises and seeing the Lord face-to-face!
Love to you and the family. Karen & Don Soeken
