Mary Ann, Renee and family, I am so sorry to hear about Terry’s passing. We all shared some great times together through the girls’ basketball, and I feel blessed to have spent that special time together. I hope those memories and many other give you comfort during this difficult time. Sending my love and sympathy.
Mary Anne & Renee, I’m so very sorry to hear about your loss. Terry spent so much time cheering all of us J-Hawks on to victory. He was genuinely so happy and he always had a joke for us girls…sometimes funny and sometimes really corny. Renee, I remember how much he smiled the day you and Mike got married. He was the Eucharistic minister and just radiated joy.
Praying for God’s peace, strength and love to surround you all during this difficult time.
