TEDDY. Passed away July 4, 2008 at the age of one and a half weeks.
Teddy was a lifelong Los Angeles resident, born into a modeling career and faithfully served as an inspiration to the Women's group for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Manhattan Ave branch. With his talent and cute, cuddly looks, he effortlessly won a role as a demonstration for a cake decorating class held at the church.
He was then scheduled to travel to an Eagle Rock bowling alley to serve as a going away gift to a friend of the church, but that assignment never materialized due to an error by his creator in which he was inadvertently left behind and forgotten. He never recovered from this traumatic event.
After retiring, he served the remainder of his days in nearby Studio City, at the home of fellow Christians, where he became a centerpiece for their kitchen table. His realism and outgoing personality easily won him many friends and he became quite popular in his final days. He suffered from perishability, and after struggling for many days, his tired body gave out and he succumbed peacefully on the Fourth of July at 7:00 p.m., among many friends who grew to love him during his short but meaningful life.
He is survived by a small container of frosting, still in refrigeration at his former church home.
His cute face will be missed by all that knew him.
Memorial and interment services will be private.
I can't stand that he's gone. In his prime he was more moist than most. You just don't see Teddy's like that anymore.
ReplyDeleteHe was a true class act. All throughout his struggle with his perishability, he never complained once. He put up a good fight all the way to the end.
