Sometimes it is hard to believe it has been 13 years since Ted passed away.
Every Christmas I remember the events of each day, when we anticipated his arrival home through to the memorial and graveside service. It’s a real comfort to re-read each year all the letters and cards we received from so many kind, caring people in Canada and the U.S. who knew Ted. With each passing year the pain and grief is less, but we miss him dearly. Even this Christmas, people shared the bitter sweet thoughts of the season and Ted’s accident.
Two and a half years ago, we moved to a community in Eastern Ontario to be closer to our other son and his family. It was hard to leave the home Ted spent part of his younger years growing up. Our daughter and son still miss their brother very much.
We know he is in Heaven with his grandparents, a uncle and a cousin, and we eagerly look forward to the day we are reunited with him in eternity.
2020 certainly has been a different and difficult year. We hope and pray 2021 will be a better and happier year for everyone,
Sincerely,
Hennie and Peter Vellenga
