Sadly my brother passed away on Jan. 24th. He had been battling cancer for the past year.
We were five, Ted was the third born.
Born on the homestead in Manitoba.
Spoke both Norwegian and English when just a toddler.
His favorite expression "Godt og spise" translated " It is good to eat"
He had a love for family, friends, nature and God.
Wrote poetry, composed music (country) even though he was tone deaf.
One song made #2 on the Danish Hit Parade!
I have lost a sister, my husband and now a brother to cancer
Oh, that cure will be found.
A chair in our home is now empty
A loved one is gone from our midst
The bible he read on the sidetable
The pages some tattered and loose,
His spirit will linger amongst us
As on our lifes journey we go
And when our travels are over
We will gather on that heavenly shore.
Beloved Ted, you are missed.
Your Sister, Alphikd
I have now lost my sister, my husband and now my brother to this scourge.
