Edward Bright Ebersol

You All had Him here to Enjoy
For a too brief, fourteen years
Now left with just the Memories
And the Pain of Loss and Tears.

But as you say, what Teddy said
So wisely ‘bout, "The finish line…."
You know He’ll win in that, "new race"
And that He’s surely doing just fine.

Susan, He was your Greatest Buddy
With Dick at work, Charlie at school
And words of His autobiography
A much Treasured Gift and Learning Tool.

You found out things about Him
That most the Family never knew
With an Understanding of this Life
That may be shared by far too few.

Sometimes this Life is cruel, unjust
And makes us ask the question, "Why?"
But sometimes Angels are needed sooner
And have to spread their Wings, and Fly.

Del "Abe" Jones

This is a beautiful, and apt, tribute, Abe...
not to only Teddy...but to all children who are
taken upwards far before we think their time has come...
