It was then recorded by a
Nashville studio singer and played at the very end of Ted's funeral on
Jan. 15, 2008.

great guy who touched so many lives in so many wonderful ways.
My only wish is that it never be complete, but be an ongoing work in

In the words of Chris Dyer, "We miss you, Bubba...Keep sending us those
awesome sunrises."
Rest in peace, Ted....
