Sincere sympathy to Ned's family on his passing, with special thoughts to Ted, for such a big loss. I did not know Ned, but he clearly left a lasting legacy of love and caring for those he loved and for causes that were dear to him. May he rest in peace.

My Dearest Ned, you will live forever in my heart, my soul, and in the memories of our 30 years together.  Sleep peacefully, my beautiful friend, until we meet again and set the skies alight with laughter as we get caught up with everything we've been up to.  Yours always, Ted.

Ned was a truly special person.  Not only did he strive to make positive changes to his community and the world in general, he was an extremely bright, witty, colorful and engaging individual.  He saved Ted's life and made him happy - and for that, I will be eternally grateful to him.  Ted, I know that he is still looking out for you from the better place that he's now resting in.
