To the family,
I am Colby Hotalings Grandmother( Wendys Mom), I first want to say how very sorry I am for your loss, you will be in our hearts & prayers.
Colby loved that his buddy played trumpet too,& I went to the spring concert & they were so cute with their little fingers pushing those buttons on the trumpets! Also the look on the boys faces on the float when they went by us was priceless, they were all smiles & thuoght they were about "IT"! It was so neat.
i am so sorry that it ended so tragically, but I told Colby that is a good memory to hold onto of all of them together having fun.
I honestly cant even begin to imagine your pain, but just had to tell you that my grandson & many others thought the world of your son which is a great reflection of his family.
May God be with youZXVWC

I never met Teddy in person but as a very old friend of his father, Steve, I received great Christmas cards every year. The cards were loaded with great pictures of two brothers really enjoying their life. As the mom of a child in heaven, I know how your family feels right now. I will send a letter in a few weeks when everything quites down and you really will need a friend.

Dear Steve, Jeannie and Xavier,
We, as a family, are thinking about you and praying for you daily. Since our son, Christopher, went to heaven 9 months ago we can feel the pain you are experiencing. Christopher was also 10 years old. There is nothing quite like the pain of losing a child you loved so much, but there is also nothing quite like the comfort God gives in a time like this. May you feel His arms around you and may He give you peace even through the pain and tears. If we weren't so far away in Africa, we'd definitely be there for you today. Thankfully, prayers and thoughts can transcend the miles. Jeannie, do you remember walking with me around the block in Bainbridge when I was in labor with Christopher? I feel sure Teddy and Christopher have found each other in heaven. We'll continue praying for you in the coming days, weeks and months as his absence becomes increasingly real. Love, Eric and Martha and girls

I have been floored by the outpouring of sympathy and love by so many folks on this website and in the Tri-Town area. Like many who have expressed their feelings here, I did not know this young man. Teddy has become "everyone's son" this week and for years to come. If there is something good to come of this very untimely accident, it's that rides and floats in local parades be carefully built and operated. But think of this positive as well: Teddy's last activity was feeling like a star in his baseball uniform and with his very best friends. I hope we can smile on that thought. Teddy was a winner! My condolences to the family; you obviously had a special boy with magnetic personality in your life.

I used to go to the Cherniaks home on wednsdays for dinner. Teddy was always full with this crazy,insane,funny spunk. I have know him for as long as I have known his brother. I met him when I was in Pre-school. The things I will mill the most about Ted is his care for people, his spunk, and most of all just him. I wondered why he had to go, and my mom said "God has other plans for him in heaven." But I know that he his still going to be here in our hearts and watching us above.

You can shed tears that he is gone, Or you can smile because he lived, You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back, Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left. Your heart can be empty because you can't see him Or you can be full of the love that you shared, You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember him and only that he is gone Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on, You can cry and close your mind be empty and turn your back, Or you can do what he would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

Just a couple weeks ago I was at chimes with Teddy. I would always fool around with him and he thought it was funny. Then in chorus he would always make me laugh. Teddy always had a smile on his face from when he was sad when Mrs. Cherniak said "Teddy" at chime practice and when Teddy was just plain happy. Teddy always made me laugh. I will always miss Teddy and remember all the good times we had from Christmas Eve to the canoe regatta when I saw you last. Teddy I will miss you and you will always be in my heart. I know my big sis will take care of you in heaven. Teddy you will always be in my heart forever.

Remember Teddy's smile and hold his memory close and tight, that is what will help get you through the difficult days ahead. I am so very sorry for your loss, and I will keep you in my prayers. I will light a candle for Teddy every night. Again Jeanne, I am so sorry. No parent should ever have to bury their child. God bless you and your family.

Although your son is not here with us in the physical world, I don't think there is anyway a bond with your children secured with so much LOVE could ever be broken. Teddy will always be with you guys.

Teddy's brother Xavier and I grew up being great friends. I would go to his house very often. When I went there, I became good friends with Teddy. I remember once we all played kick ball and Teddy and I were on the same team. Right then I knew he would be a great athlete. But as life went on, Xavier,Teddy and I found other friends. I hadn't seen Teddy in a while. Teddy was a great kid and athlete who had a clear future. He lived a great life and we all loved him

So saddened to hear of your loss our hearts,prayer and condolences go out to you. The only confort is remembering all the good times and your love for Teddy and keep it in your hearts. Here is a quote about remembering our lost love ones. "Remembrance is a golden chain
Death tries to break,
but all in vain.
To have, to love, and then to part
Is the greatest sorrow of one's heart.
The years may wipe out many things
But some they wipe out never.
Like memories of those happy times
When we were all together." Your Teddy was an angel that came to visit and now God has called him home. He is in the wings and love of family that has passed. Much love Wayne and Teresa Latourette and Family,Lehigh Acres, Fl.
