  1. Dear Family:
    What a wonderful blessing it has been to have known Ted. What a rich life to hear about from him and Ohma when they were here with Gene and Karen. I loved hearing about their life in Bulgaria and seeing the pictures of the bread baking there. I look forward to seeing him in heaven and I am glad you have wonderful memories to recall – I pray they will comfort all of you.

  2. Metodi was a true Blessing to know. His kind spirit and gentleness was an inspiration to us all. He was so very loved here at Universal and we miss him dearly. He will forever be in our hearts!
