"Dear Family of Ted Gibson; We are sorry that we can't attend to honor your dad. Dave and I are both recovering from Covid and unable to attend. Dave worked with Ted for many years at Kodak. He was a good person, liked by all, as was your mom too! (We are the couple that you took a video of at Vernetta's wake to show Ted when you got home) Love and sympathy to you and your family, Dave and Jackie Teather."
In loving memory of
Ted Louis Gibson
