Job 19
25 I know that my redeemer[a] lives,
and that in the end he will stand on the earth.[b]
26 And after my skin has been destroyed,
yet[c] in[d] my flesh I will see God;
27 I myself will see him
with my own eyes—I, and not another.
How my heart yearns within me!
How happy I am to hear he is alive with Jesus!

Uncle Ted was always the most gentle, caring person and sincere for the Lord which showed through in how he raised his family. He always remembered things about me even when I hadn’t seen him in years. I still have fond memories of being at Uncle Ted and Aunt Gloria’s for pool parties and when the siblings came to visit from Germany and had a reunion.. Rest in Peace Uncle Ted, no doubt there is a huge reunion going on now in heaven with my dad and all the uncles and aunts and especially Aunt Gloria!
