Dad, I never thought this day would come
the day you’d be taken away from me. All I can do is hold on to the memories that we have made and never let them go! I love you so much dad I miss you!
Terry was a good man with many children. He lived an adventurous life and traveled all over. I was very fortunate to meet and spend time with him. He was the grandfather of my two daughters, Courtney and Bianca. We will be greatly missed.
I know I cannot fully speak for our mother, but I do know if she were here she be okay with me saying this: Mom always spoke of Terry as being the most loving little boy, with huge green eyes that would always win her over even after a mischievous prank. She knew in her heart that he loved her, and she loved him back fiercely as only a mother does, year after year. She knew that while he was not perfect (nobody is) he always had the very best of intentions and sometimes that is enough.
Terry, I know you have found peace with God and that you are being embraced lovingly by Mom and Cindy.
My condolences to those who were closest to you in this life, as I know the pain they are surely experiencing at your loss.
I am so sorry for your loss. Please except my sincerest condolences. You can always lean upon God in the heavens to give you strength and support. (Psalm 55:22; John 5:28, 29)
