"This note is from Teddy's daughter Beth Thank you for the nice notes from you. It is nice to know that Mom had friends during and after American Family. I can say that Mom always loved dancing from a young girl up, this was something that her whole family did. I like to say that her and Dad are in heaven dancing together. Love you always Beth"

"I'm assuming this is the same Teddy Zweifel that worked at American Family. My mom (Harriett Braith) worked with Teddy and they stayed in touch long after they both retired and Teddy moved to Florida. I remember her being such a nice lady! I'm so sorry for your loss. Sadly, my mom passed away in 2014. Carolyn Hammons Waunakee"

"My dad was at Orchid Home for a while and my (foster) daughters and I loved visiting with Teddy! They were happier to see her than they were to see my dad and always gave her big hugs. One time Teddy taught one of my daughters how to dance while Dad played the piano. So sweet! She was a bright light for everyone and always so positive! Sometimes she and Dad would tease each other. Sending you all the best, Jen Bronsdon"
